ok so kaiser got sedated today for round 2 of vaccs, and the sedation did absolutely nothing to him!!!
was very tense when vet went in to see him, (after episode the other day vet and me decided stable was best) and after flying round the stable a few times and trying to squash us both, vet asked me to leave the stable so that he could try speaking to him, and after about 10 minutes of the vet nicely rubbing all his itchy spots, he seemed a bit better,
he rubbed the jag spot for ages before attempting to inject him, and he was just walking round in a circle which vet said was better than running at the walls, anyways got the injection in with out too much more effort, hurrah!!!
asked vet about his gelding, and he said he would like him calmer for it, so said just to do a bit more work with him introducing people (see who i can find!) and new smells, ie turps and meths (thanks wonketywoody!) and i have some nitting needles for practicing injections
vet is also going to pop in on his way home from the surgery a few nights a week to stop in and say hello just so kaiser doesent just see him as the man who puts needles into him, which i thought was a nice offer! so after all that, i think i may keep my vet, if he does keep coming in to see him kaiser should settle when he sees him and it is very handy having your vet 2 mins along the road,
so well done for reading all that and just to say a big well done, here are some pics of him! (kaiser not the vet)
