Cushing's Diary: the calm after the storm

After a bit of a rubbish day yesterday, I sat in front of the laptop this morning and spent a couple of hours, reading through other people's experiences with their cushing's horses and ponies.

 It allowed me to see again that what Molly is doing isn't strange there are plenty of other horses in this situation that are doing the same, and some are behaving worse!

It has resulting in her medication being increased a little, and I am trying to stay calm about the whole thing with her eating. Somehow it becomes such an important thing for her to get all the feed stuffs, that I was forgetting that she wasn't exactly on hunger strike! She is still eating, even though she is being fussy, I will just have to be more creative.

This evening she quite happily, demolished her turmeric, oil, pepper and marmite sandwich and in a seperate sandwich she had her linseed mix with thinly sliced apple. I know it does seem a bit of a faff, but it is actually quite fun.  Tomorrow we are going to have linseed and pair sandwiches and 2 turmeric finger rolls.
