Here are a few pics I took tonight whilst Poach was eating her dinner

As you can see, she is now standing on her left hind which is something she couldn't do 2 weeks ago. She isn't fully weight-bearing on it yet but it's a vast improvement!

It is also much straighter and she isn't carrying it tucked in behind her other hind leg anymore :thumbsup:

I shall try to take a video of her walking tomorrow and post it with one I took when she first arrived so that you can see the difference

Compared to pic taken on the day she arrived ...........

I'm so pleased with her progress - she's amazing!!!

I've even mistaken her for Jinny a couple of times, much to Jinny's disgust :- "

I stroke her alot, Trish :huggles:

No, no brushing. They all seem to have good coats so I guess it must be their diet :blink:

1 weetabix with a little milk in the morning

1 big chicken wing (raw) for elevenses

Raw pet mince and bone meal in the evening (my butcher makes their own mince with all the offcuts etc)

I've been adding minced green tripe to Poacher's and Irie's evening meal for weight gain and they also get a couple of lambs hearts added in between all 6 of them.

Various chews - rawhide, occasional pig's ear, tripe sticks and dried liver pieces.

Grass - they help themselves! Good for the digestive system :thumbsup:

Horse poo, moreso when they were younger. Once the probiotics are in place they don't seem to be so interested in it

As for amounts - I just vary it depending on whether they need to put on a bit of flesh or lose a bit (like my ickle Elly Belly :- " :wub: )
