I think we’re sort of there with the mud fever. :db: He’s still got one spot of scabs type stuff on one leg but mostly they’ve gone. He’s had a couple of mornings out anyway – slathered in pig oil, hosed, dried and Flamazine-d when he’s come in so I think next week I’ll ask them to put him out in the afternoons, hose him and stick his wraps on when he comes in and then we can check him over and apply some cream if needed in the evenings.

I have noticed he’s been very touchy about his belly since he’s been in though. He almost reared when I tried to tighten his girth last night and turned to nip me when I put my leg on at one point. 😥 I have the osteo out in a couple of weeks and the vet shortly after that to do his jabs and check his teeth. I will raise the possibility of ulcers with the vet again as he’s been noticeably worse with no access to grazing. His hip feels a lot better after doing quite a bit of ST and working over poles so I think the osteo might be reasonably happy with him but I think there’s an underlying issue somewhere. Not like him to nip without a cause. Not one thing it’s another, huh? Although this has been bubbling along for a couple of years really. :wall:

I would like him to be somewhere where he could be out grazing all night all year round ideally. Going to get organised about visiting some places soon!
