Gambit, my ancient loan Sec A, has mysterious skin condition at the moment - bald patches, but not particularly itchy or sore. Vet saw him yesterday, gave him steroid injection, shampoo for me to do every 2 days, told me to put honey on the sore bits (and amazingly he didn't get covered by flies/wasps in the field 
) and he has to have a Penicillin injection every day Thought that my farmer hubby would do it for me - he injects cows all the time - but no, said hubby admitted that he has an irrational fear of horses (even a 11hh 34 year old!!) and could not do it. So - this morning, with shaking hands, I did it!! Gambit, bless him, jumped when I put the needle in and then kept moving about whilst trying to get syringe on and drug administered (20ml, which seems like a lot). However, we got it done and now I have 3 more mornings to look forward to.
