Well Yesterday I went out to the ranch to visit and work with Cooper like I do every day. And When I walked him out of his stall he was dead lame! He could barely walk and practically stumbled out of his stall. I was speechless. I did not know what to think.
So I coaxed him to the tie rail so I can inspect him and see what it could be. Checked all four legs. No swelling, no wounds of any sort, no hot spots, no sore spots, NOTHING VISIBLE! But it was obvious to me that he was in pain by the way he was walking. He was acting the same. Still very friendly and exited to see us. Still as goofy as ever. Since he was so lame I could not really do any training with him so I did a really nice long grooming session and put him up. I gave him some bute to help with the pain.
This morning Robby and I called a vet to come look at him. He won't be able to come look at him till Saturday but we were just glad to get the appointment at all in such short notice.
We went back there to visit him today and he was still dead lame. A tad better but still pretty lame. I have no clue what could be wrong with him but if I lose him I think I will just die. I have only owned him a short while But I am in love with this boy!
I am trying so hard to be a more positive person but its so hard when crap like this keeps happening to me. I have been struggling to be happy but I keep failing epically at it.
We shall see what happens on Saturday. I really hope that Cooper is ok and that this is all just a bad dream.
I swear if I lose one more horse I will lose my mind!!!!!
Sigh
