Timmy could use some good vibes

[Silke]

Timmy might have got kicked. He's not putting weight on his hind left and clearly very ouchy.
He's in the box with hay for now and I'm keeping an eye on things, but he's separated from the horses for now so he doesn't feel like he has to keep up.
He's had a lie down and got back up, so nothing is broken, but his rump is a bit swollen.
Add to that a touch of laminitis... not a good combo.
So for now it's box rest with hay until he's better. If it gets worse, it's another vet callout.
(Might do that anyway, but for now he's getting arnica to help heal.)
Stuff like this usually passes in a day or two, and I have a dose of Bute left which he'll get this evening to ease the pain.
He's perky and not in distress, but won't put weight on that leg atm. It could also be a hoof abscess, but hard to tell.
We shall see.

Oh poor Timmy! Sending lots of healing vibes.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

Hoping he will feel better soon.

 

[Misty Lee 123]

Hang in there Timmy. Hope you feel better really soon and it’s something minor

 

[Natalie Murphy]

Bless him and you. May it not be serious I am holding thumbs that it sorts itself out so no nasty vet bills come your way

 

[Silke]

He's in on a nice big bed of straw now (which means he's already eating it...)
It looks like it's just his hock that is inflamed. A few days "bedrest" should help.

Feel better soon, Timmy x

How is Timmy doing today?

 

[Silke]

Still the same, but he's out for a bit atm so he's moving. He's in his own little paddock with a bit of grass, away from the horses, just in case. I think he's just very stiff now, so a bit of walking does him good.

hugs n speedy recovery vibes to Timmy

Healing vibes are sent. Maybe he needs some of your magic ointment.

Sadly that won't help with that.
He gets Arnica tho.
And cuddles. Arnica & Cuddles.

Get well soon Timmy, you are too cute to stay down long!

 

[Yoda mom]

@Silke , checking in on Timmy? hugs n healing vibes. we all love Timmy

 

[Toa and Ross]

Sending more healing vibes

 

[Silke]

He's back to putting weight on the foot, so he's allowed outside, but not on the track with the others just yet.

He seems content with that.
But at least he's nearly walking nicely again now.
Thanks for the vibes!

 

[Yoda mom]

keep the healing updates coming! hugs n scritches to baby Timmy.

 

[Silke]

Timmy is back on the track now.

 

[Natalie Murphy]

I am so glad you can sit back and take a breather. I hope he continues to get better and stronger each day

 

[Condo commando]

Great job! It seems like it's always something. Hope you get a break now.

Well, I've just had the 2nd Pfizer dose. So now I'm woozy and feel like my arm wants to fall off.
Still, Tetanus is worse.
Just glad I got the rest of the garden mowed yesterday, and offloaded the rammed full trailer this morning.
Because now...well, I could do it, but it wouldn't be painfree. Despite the painkillers.
Oh well, this too shall pass. Last time it took 3 days for my arm to stop hurting, so I'm hoping it'll be less or about the same this time.

@Silke congrats on your getting 2nd vaccination. My second dose really knocked me for a loop for 2 1/2 days. I just kept telling myself it will pass and it did as quickly as it came on.

That's pretty much the way it's going. Day 2, and it's not as bad as yesterday, so hopefully by tomorrow I'll be back to normal.
I'm sure Cathy is cursing me atm, because I cannot do the foals like this, as one pull and I'd just let go lol.

It's weird but I didn't have anything except my arm was a little sore.

The worst symptom isn't from getting the vaccine but rather from wearing a mask. The symptom is a feeling that your constitutional rights have been violated. Weird, right?
