Poor pooch

Jo was sick yesterday afternoon, which was a bit worrying, but then she was sick again three times in an hour this afternoon. As it happened, the third time happened while Mike was on the way to the vet to pick up more medication for her, so I phoned and they added an anti-nausea pill to the stack.

Unfortunately, she turned her nose up at her dinner and she's just been sick again. Fortunately, when I went through it with a spoon I found a bit of cheese but no actual pill, so hopefully enough of it got into her to do some good. Also, no blood, which the vet was worried about.

In better news, Riding Instructor came to have a go on Benny this afternoon. I'd not realised, but the last three times I'd ridden him (for the vet, the saddler, and the dealer) Mike wasn't around (and neither was she). Although I've been saying 'he seemed a bit better today than he was last time', I'd not quite twigged that kept happening. He wasn't *right* today, but Mike and Riding Instructor were both impressed by the improvement, to the extent that Riding Instructor didn't bother to get on him.

Her theory is still that he Did Something when the dentist was here, and it's just taken longer to improve than we expected. I'm going to go back to riding him, and just try to work through the weirdness. And improve his balance!

Right, time to see if I can get Jo to come back in from the garden....
