Thanks Rob. The vet came out last night and Marci is now on antibiotics for her skin infection and antibiotic eye drops for the conjunctivitis, she is also on Bute (bit like Nurofen for horses) and we've been out today to get her some feed supplements to help build her up. We need to get started now so she is fit and strong enough for the winter, being the colour she is she has very thin skin and not much coat so the more we can do now the better. The vet is back on Monday and depending on what he sees then she may need to have a blood test for any underlying problems that are not immediately apparent.

She went out in the field today for the first time since arriving and had our other youngster (Zeus) for company. The good news is that she is tucking into her hay, eating plenty of grass and seems to be settling in.
