Poppy update and a bit of Pip and Bogs

So have decided RVC for her referral. Swabs sent off for CDRM test and also for HM (ok its not likely but as we are testing anyway....)

Swab results due in 7 days via email so should have those before we go to RVC, and can cancel RVC if we have a positive result.

She has actually been better Sat when she did not a lot but laze in the sun and worse Sun when she was a bit of a loon in the field in the am.

Its a lot like MS in its clinical signs - rest leads to better coordination, overdoing it leads to worse coordination.

Knuckling LH is slower than normal. RH is normal if you support her weight. She is carrying weight more on RH so if you dont support her weight and then knuckle RH she has to spend a while getting her weight shifted off it to right it.

Very happy in herself so doubt there is much pain.

Ocassionally lame LF in trot which looks like compensatory lameness, but might ask them to scan/xray elbows too if she is out so we know how bad it is.

God this is going to cost a lot! At least the hydro wont be too expensive.

Bogs looking good nd squeek off for his op tomorrow.
