After 2 failed attempts to meet the vet (both times I left work 2 hours early and the vet was unable to attend) - they finally made it back out to assess his leg and while there, do his teeth as well.
I wasn't able to get more time off, so the Vet and her assistant caught both Red and Huey and did everything this morning for me...
Red's leg is fine now, no swelling, and he's certainly not lame as he's been galloping about the place chasing Huey. He's become a real ratbag at feed time and will chase Huey relentlessly until feed is put down. Not that he's starving to death, as he would like me to believe - he's managed to get into the drums and consume a good half a bale of lucerne recently. He's looking a little rotund actually... best I work him some more.
His teeth were apparently quite sharp and had hooks. His teeth were worse than Huey's, which was quite surprising, given Huey came to me a starved, unhappy skeleton. But, they're all fixed and correct now.
And so they should, the visit cost me another $298 -sigh- But that was Huey's teeth too. Thank heavens it's only once a year!
