Still a bit dopey after a visit from the equine vet, he had to be sedated as the developing abscess at the top of his leg needed removing and the cut cleaning, a process that took a while. Toby became ever more attentive and rested his head on William’s back, taking hold of the skin with his teeth, just to let him know he was there. They’ll have to stay up on the hard standing for a couple of weeks, the cut needs flushing and creaming three times a day and there’s a daily dose of antibiotics and painkillers. William, stoic as ever, just gets on with it, the vet will be back in a few days. A cold, frosty start to the day with a few snow showers.
