That Snot-Nosed Kid!

Oh.... Granite. We have completed 13 days of antibiotics. All symptoms of illness are gone except for this:
SNOT!!!



Color me a frustrated momma! We are going to call the vet and see what he has to day tomorrow. He hasn't had a fever in two weeks and we haven't heard him cough in a week and a half. His eyes are bright and he has plenty of energy. He gallops up when he sees me because now he gets fed twice a day so he can have his dose of meds. I'm glad the med have helped (although have not yet cured) but a side effect is....


Exhibit A: OBESE EQUINE!
Exhibit B: OBESE EQUINE!

The big man needs to get better for a multitude of obvious reasons, but I have got to get him back into work and only eating once a day-- the kid is getting FAT!

Updates to come.

  1. Awww ... he does look like a porker. lol. I'm sure he'll trim back up when he goes back to work and his normal rations. :-)

  2. Hey, that's exactly what's happening to my body while I'm laid up - it's exploding! Get well soon, Granite.

  3. Sounds like Gran is making his recovery. Mine gets a snotty nose if her allergies act up, I see hives too and just give her benadryl for two days. I'm sure he'll trim right back down when he gets off the meds and can go back to work. Trotting for fitness is what the eventers always do!

  5. Aw, he is a touch on the tubby side. Doesn't seem terribly self conscious about it, though. ;-)
