I had the vet out a fortnight ago to check the boys out, we blood tested Spider for Cushings and EMS, he was negative for Cushings but had a hideously high insulin level and was quite pottery. Cactus has been consistently off in front on a bend and actually on the day of the visit was clearly lame. He was no more lame after flexions so we X-rayed his foot and there were changes in his right fore that might be the cause. However the vet declared him FAT and felt that the best course of action was to get them off the grass to see if that helped. We all need to eat less and exercise more. I can't say I've taken that advice myself this week, I guess falling off the walking wagon once in a while is to be expected. The reality is mentally I feel like crap and my back... well actually all of me... hurts, lots. It would appear that moving more is no longer an optional extra for me.
