Those poor horses. Let me know what they find out, ok? Okie physically better but still doesn't have his energy back and picky with his food but he does put his head down now. I question that he walks steady too. It's like his lower left back leg a little wobbly . Eddie got behind him and couldn't see what I thought I was seeing so maybe nothing though.

I'll let you know. They're switching vets, though because he's being very lax about the whole thing, and not very responsible. Coming out when no one is around the farm and "claiming" to give innoculations, and when they called about the strangles results a few days later, when he didn't call back, the secretary said that they were "in the truck with the vet". Maybe I'm wrong, but something stinks. Apparently his record keeping is rotten too, because Teddy's (the arab) strangles vaccine isn't on file either. So either he never got it, or it never got written down. And they had to call the vet three times before someone would look at the hives attack. It happened in a space of 20 minutes. The poor horse just blew up. His face ended up being so swollen that his halter was cutting into it.
