Ears up!

Oh, my.

I do so hate to post twice in one day.

It just seems so...well, so obsessive...

But I had to report that Pookey had a very good afternoon and early evening, and has been on his feet with his ears up pretty continuously for much of the latter part of the day.

We wound up giving him Banamine in the morning and half a dose at six, with our revised plan calling for him to start the Equioxx first thing in the morning, so that we can better monitor his response (meaning while we are awake, as opposed to asleep, or half asleep).

I am convinced that the GastroGard is helping his gut. My evidence is as follows: normal manure (for the first time in a long time), a bright expression, no more nipping at his flank, and no teeth grinding or head banging.

Today, when we gave him his tiny tube of the pricey paste, he spat out just the tiniest little bit. We immediately fell to our knees in the stall, scooped it up, and stuck it right back in his mouth. The two-second rule! Especially valid when the little dollop was worth nearly ten bucks!

Did I mention that I wished I had Merial stock?
