I also think the vet would be wise, and I'm not one to jump to call the vet much anymore. <br /><br />I was going over my old blog posts from last March and I was reminded that Red coliced March 1st of 2010. He also looked depressed and lethargic, and I, at first, attributed it to his old age. Late, when my farrier came, he realized he'd had an abscess, and that's probably why he coliced. He was just being stoic through the pain. So, when they stand around like that, you never really know.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-57363919597323525022011-03-04T07:10:26.593-08:002011-03-04T07:10:26.593-08:00Thanks Kate.

I do cross leg straps, but not in the usual way from back one side to front the other side - that causes rubs. I take one leg strap from back to front on the same side and do the same with the other but looping the second one through the first between the hind legs - this suspends the straps away from the legs a bit and helps prevent rubs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
