Horses Infected: 3 (Epiphany, Local News and Lucy (Pure Theatre Yearling Filly)
Highest Temperature Today: That award goes to Lucy who recorded 39.1 deg
Another full day at Massie Lodge looking after our sick horses. Pip and Local are doing ok and their temperatures have been hovering around normal. Young Lucy showed signs that she has caught the virus by presenting with a temperature of 39.1. Mind you, it wasnt obvious this morning because she was still ravenous at breakfast time and didnt look off. During our temperature rounds this morning, Evan gave Luce a hug and knew from how hot she was that something was going on. Mind you, she was not that happiest of campers to be getting her temperature checked.
Pip was started on antibiotics today for her nasal discharge and cough. Local doesnt seem to have the cough that Pip does ... mind you, she was feeling very sorry for herself as she had sore front feet. (For those of you that dont know, she needs constant attention on her front tootsies). So we called up Eric the vet (as no farriers are allowed) and he came and gave her a trim all round, just to keep her happy.
All other Massie Lodge residents presenting normal temperatures and appetites at this stage. However, Iam sure that with tomorrow will come some more names to add to the list.
As you can imagine its all hands (all two of us lol) on deck looking after them during this time.
We had some news from Phil Quinnell today at Ballina re Maz and Short Pants. Maz is still doing great and we're hoping that there will be a meeting at Ballina on the 28th September so that he can get a start. Phil is very happy with Shorts and has promised to send some photos over the weekend. Which is a positive!
It's 11pm and I feel like I have been up for days.
Time to turn in me thinks.
Helen.
