I am very worried about Storm.  He is just not improving in any way. All the others are nearly back to normal, but not Storm. He is not eating, he is so depressed and I am at my wits’ end to know what to do next.

So, today, I put him outside with the others for the daylight hours dosed up on painkillers to see if that would give him back a bit of spark.  I could see that he was pleased to see his friends and I am sure it brightened him up a bit but he is still very disinterested in food.  I am now wondering if his teeth are hurting as I’ve seen him doing funny things with his jaw while he is eating.  Typical, just after the equine dentist’s visit too. Spring will be in his next visit.

I do think, however, that breathing in fresh air and being with all his herd might do a little good, even if only mentally.

The weather is not helpful – flurries of hail or snow or sleet.

And through all my poo-picking, haynet soaking, buckets and moving ponies, etc, I have a faithful helper, no matter the weather.  Pepper is always with me.  I know the electric fence is working too – she zapped herself and came running to me.

I will talk to the vet tomorrow and see what can be done.  In the wee small hours, when I am worrying, I am almost thinking about putting Storm to sleep.  He has no quality of life at the moment and is going backwards, not forwards. I just wish he was interested and happier and eating, eating anything would be good.

Please can I have all your healing vibes, prayers, thoughts and wishes for Storm.  I feel like crying.
