TUESDAY 3RD APRIL
News just in.....Chico can come home on Wednesday.
After a busy morning walking the dogs, shopping for dog food and re-organising my aviary I had sat down with my laptop to enjoy an episode of one of my shows on line.
Few minutes from the end my phone went and the vet was on the other end. Chico could come home! The vet couldnt say enough about how amazingly Chico had done from day one. She told me enthusiastically how of all the colic surgeries she had even been involved with that Chico had shown the smallest amount of edema around the wound than she had ever seen. It seems that Chico is some sort of super-pony, as he astounded the vets last year with his superb reaction to having his sarcoids treated with aggressive chemo cream, so looks like he is continuing this healing ways.
When I collect him i will be given a care guide for him and he is likely to need to be on box rest for at least 3 months. In hand grazing everyday if what I have to look forward to this year, lets just hope we dont have months of rain, I dont fancy getting drowned!
It will be up to the yard in the morning to get his stable ready for him, put down some extra bedding, fill his water and make sure he has plenty of yummy hay.
Then once my dad and the towbar finish work it'll be off up to Lichfield to collect my boy.
Lets just hope he wants to get back on the trailer.......
