Poor Telly!

So just when we thought we were heading on the right path, I notice Telly urinating an orangey-red color. So we have the vet come out and take a blood sample and urine sample. Apparently he has a bladder infection and is now on antibiotics and cannot be exercised. I cannot believe the bad luck Telly has been going through and why God cannot cut him a break. I hope this will heal up within a week so we can resume riding and start showing again in the near future.

Before this incident though, I would not say his lameness had ceased. I still feel he looks the same as before, but the fusing of his hocks could take a few more months to complete. I hope that once this occurs he will have no more soundness issues and will not be in pain. He has such a big heart and high pain tolerance that I just want him to feel good and become sound.
