...today the vet comes back to check Tom. Fingers crossed...
It's windy today, very...and the horses are out in restricted grazing still, but they're finding the small space simply a challenge which they meet face-on. They are speeding about, but I am keeping an eye on them. Tom is not supposed to be leaping around, he has stitches, but I guess he's feeling better? Off the anti-biotics by yesterday, but still a sachet of Bute morning and night, for it's anti-inflammatory properties more than pain relief now.
I decided to add some happy photos to remind us all why we go through all this worry, just look at their pretty little faces, and that's all you need to know.

The plan is for Tom's stitches to come out next week, you can see here the swelling has lessened. Then I am hoping things can get back to normal around here. Out again at night and free-range to graze. Tom will get some well-earned rest alongside Henry and because his scar sits under his saddle area, I'll need to be extra careful he is ready and pain-free before I ride him again.
Fingers crossed.
The vet actually used the word WOW when she saw Tom today, which is good news. happy with his recovery and on-track for next week.
Single dose of Bute only a day.
Henry is making his feelings about Bute quite clear!
