August 2018

Nero has had his medication changed to help with his liver function. Although he now enjoys it, it has taken a little bribing to help encourage him to try something new. He too is enjoying the cooler weather and he is wearing a rug for when it gets cooler at night. He is also having an extra feed added to help his condition and ensure he is eating his full medication.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 2018

Nero continues to enjoy a bath most days through the heat wave to keep his skin supple and cool. He is often seen in the shade with Domino during the hottest part of the day keeping cool. He was very happy to see Apache and Bluey arrive back from their trip to the vets and they all enjoyed a celebratory lap of honour when they were reunited in the field. Unfortunately the swelling on his withers hasn’t gone down so he is having a topical treatment put on twice a day and will be reviewed in a couple of weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

June 2018

Nero has struggled during the hot weather and was very uncomfortable in the heat, so he now spends the day in the barn when it is warm and goes back to the field at night. Unfortunately, Nero has developed a swelling along his withers so is on the vet list and awaiting their arrival. He still seems very happy and remains his cheeky self when visitors come and see him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

May 2018

Nero celebrated his birthday this month and took part in a Facebook live while staff sang happy birthday and gave him a cake, which he very much enjoyed. He is still enjoying his regular baby shampoo bath in order to keep his skin soft. His hair is slowly growing but is having weekly treatment to keep on top of his sweet itch, which is why you may see him in a rug when you are visiting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April 2018

Nero has had a clip due to developing a fungal infection, however he is enjoying the extra baths he is having to keep his skin soft, as well as the cuddles from welfare staff. He has also been very brave and had a blood test which will make sure he is receiving the right amount of medication and to monitor his liver function.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

March 2018

Nero is doing what he does best by keeping Domino’s spirits up while he is being treated for Laminitis. He is enjoying his new housing at Walklands Farm in the barn, especially when the snow came and he was able to stay warm and dry and admire the snow from inside the barn.
