Ho hum
Just had the vet on the phone with the results of the boys' Cushings tests. The baby, not unexpectedly, had a reading (26) well below the vaguely-worrying level for this time of year (40). GB, on the other hand? 177.
She's putting the pills in the post, and we'll try them for a couple of months and then do another blood test. Joy.
In better news, Jodie has now been off the lead twice. Yesterday, we waited until she was tired and on the way home, and she was fine (although the cows were little worried as she walked past their field. Today, I went a different route and let her off almost straight away, as the bridle path we were walking up was in a nicely fenced off strip about 3m wide. She bounded up and down the hill and got herself thoroughly tired out, so much so that by the time we got to a more open bit of the woods she didn't want to do anything but walk next to me on the path. Add in the fact that the sun came out as we were walking along the road back to home and she spent another half hour half-lying in the fish pond, panting furiously!
In a new development, we could hear her barking as we went past the house for a hack this morning. However, there was nothing amiss inside and she seemed fine when we got back. Plus, given how she is off the lead, I think she'll be able to come with us soon!
Now, to read up on the management of Cushings.

Plus, she voluntarily goes in there several time a day to check for biscuits, so it can't be that bad.
(I'm more worried that she was dubious about going into the house today when she saw me in a riding hat and high-viz jacket. Hopefully, though, she'll be able to hack out with us soon and that will also cease to be an issue.)
