Round and round we go…

So it’s round and round we go 🙁

Took him back to the vet school on Wednesday to have a repeat CT scan to see if the fragments we left in (or in fact could see on the CT but couldn’t find in the hole!) were causing any problems but we were hoping this would be the end of it. Those fragments are fine. Not moved, not got bigger, not causing problems. He has, however, magicked up some new ones! :wall: The vet has no idea where these have come from, they’re not on the previous scan and said he could have a bit of a poke around or we could take him home and bring him back in 4-6 months for *another* CT scan so this is what I decided to do. He’s going really well at the moment and it would be nice to just be able to ride for bit!! So we’re back again in a wait, scan, probably then surgery to remove the bits and then another scan… I’m glad he’s with us as I can actually afford to give him all this treatment (not easily but I can do it) – I’m not sure that Jayne would have been able to if she hadn’t sold him – but I really wish this would stop!!! It was one tooth!!!

He seems fine in himself though – he was yawning when he came back from the RVC which is what he does when he’s uncomfortable but it stopped after a day and I think it might just have been because we’d taken him back to the RVC? I had a good poke about and he didn’t mind me poking at the gum line so I think it’s fine. We watch. We wait. We make sure we pay off the credit card from the last lot of treatment swiftly…!

The Good news is that he’s lost about 50 kg and is now 580.5 kg!! That was the target I had in mind for him, although he could lose a touch more but we won’t be working quite so hard on that now. He looks really good :wub:

We had a bit of fun free-schooling over jumps on Thursday – some video over here (bit dark, sorry!) https://www.flickr.com/photos/silkyraven/15444865375/
