He seems to have a REALLY bad abscess, but they were worried about the leg because it looks like he's had a REALLY bad fall too. There are weird scrapes all over him, that are quite big. Like along his spine, one right behind the wither of all places. He's on three legs and miserable, can't even inch forwards, so hope he pulls through okay.
I can completely imagine how hard it would be to lose one that way though

My boy is 26 and I suddenly realised how NEVER ready I'll be, let alone for it to be like that. He's been the one things that's stuck with me for the last 11 years. So Fingers crossed!
