Pony update

GB seems to be back to normal, stomach-wise, today: he ate all his breakfast and was very happy to get his carrot when I went to bring him from the field, and then demolished the extra bit of hay I gave him to make up for his short ration last night.

Plus, he'd drunk half a bucket of water (about normal for this kind of temperature) and had a couple of small poos in his stable overnight.

He is, however, absolutely knackered. I rode him for about fifteen minutes, and while he was ok I could feel how tired he was. I decided that that was enough and took him out for some grass instead.

I'm very, very glad that he's ok.

An odd tidbit: I learned about these problems, and therefore was able to recognize my dog's ailment in time, by reading the series All Things Great and Small.

Oh, I love ACG&S. I might have to get Mike to dig out an eBook or two for me!

Yesterday are repeating some of the BBC adaptation at the moment.
