Well if the whole fiasco that is life with Jimmy wasn't enough already, now his mane seems to be falling out by the handful. What the heck?!!?
He's been happy to go outside the last few days for a little while -- I put him in the round pen & let him romp and play a little bit for like 30 min or so. He's happy to do it and mentally much better, but physically, I don't think that his soundness is really a ton better...which is so disheartening. I think if I left him on stall rest another month he might kill himself...and we're still waiting on the results to his blood test to see if he's got IR or something. The hair loss makes me think it's something with his thyroid or something, but I just DON'T understand why he's still lame. How frustrating. He seemed alright the last few nights, but it was dark so it was hard to tell. In the daylight I can see that he is very obviously not as well as I have been hoping he is. Talk about false hope.
Well, here's some pix of how much fun he was having today outside. I wish so badly that he would get better.... at least he's still handsome. He'll never lose that.
