Had to get rid of the rain, it's a gorgeous day here, probably in the mid to high sixty's. It will cool down as soon as the sun goes down but I've got another 30minutes :)
Me too. But at this point knitting is starting to look pretty good, very low stress hobby.

If all else fails, you might want to consider a treeless saddle. I've been looking at them here lately because the girl who bought Blade is thinking about getting one. There's all kinds of them, way more than I ever knew existed. She's been looking at one on ebay that's fairly english-looking and it's not too terribly expensive. I've got the link at work, I'll send it to ya tomorrow. I don't really care for the western models. The fenders on them look really strange.
Hey, that would be something to consider.

The other brand name that I'm more familiar with is Bob Marshall, but I don't like the looks of them. I've ridden with quite a few people who have them and they love them, but I think they look weird. There's another brand that I've seen that I like but I can't remember what it was and it was really pricey, like $2500 or more. Way too steep for me. Bob Marshalls are $1500, so they ain't cheap either.
Bob got the Abetta Pathfinder Saddle that is flex tree and it seems to have stopped the back and leg problems of Ghost. The treeless saddle moves around a lot from what I hear.
I figured you'd know about them if anybody did. I hear that a lot of endurance riders use treeless saddles.
The Hilason claims to stay put, even on the most witherless horses. So I don't know. Maybe my friend will buy one and I can try it out.
I think it would really be worth your while to try one before buying one. A lot depends on how you mount of course, Bob has to pull himself up now, so a lot of saddles just come right on over.
Gotta go watch LOST and Invasion. See y'all later...
I used it on Sarah Lee's throat wound and she has healed up nicely. My trainer told me it was for "proud flesh" Oh well, all I had was ointment and I needed it to drain. Actually come to think of it, maybe I did use it corectly caz I'm kind of proud of the way I healed up her flesh ')
This is the abdomen of a 18 week old kitten who was spayed yesterday. I picked her up at the vets this morning.
Seems like this swelling has come up rather suddenly this evening. It wasn't there a few hours ago.
Thank you, BTW, if you're here and can help with this ;~D
I hate to bug folk with work on off hours, but I saw this and got real concerned!
I would call your vet. Maybe a hematoma but you have redness too. Man, that blood vessel sure looks dilated. Is he in any pain?
Ack... thanks.
I was since able to talk to the on-call vet on the phone (who is not the vet that did the surgery) and I described it as "a 'golf-ball sized' swelling under the surgery site that came up rather quickly." and she thought it was probably a reaction to the dissolving sutures inside? She also thought it could wait till morning. Does she just not want to deal with it tonight?
Can you e-mail her those pics?
Blood vessel? Where?
She doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain over it, but the swelling's in a big soft area...
1st pic . Bottom right. Looks like a blood vessel on my computer. It seems the swelling would be beneath tissue or fluid would be oozing.
