Max's two favourite snatch and run treats are appearing again, and they helped immensely with today's first step back into his routine. The Ent and I gave him a grooming session and then took him for a walk in hand, first around the yard, and then up the lane to the pond field and back.
He is definitely more wary of the world than he has been, but it was a good effort. He walked very well, was fairly attentive, a little less obedient but still within the range of acceptable behaviour, and a little graze of his favourites at the end of his adventure proved a welcome reward.
He is less swollen today; I'd say about half the size of yesterday's swelling. This is very encouraging. Just a little swelling to go, and he'll be back to normal.
Max rewarded us by having a wee as soon as we put him back in his stable. Much to his chagrin, he had two of us crouching by his sides having a good ol' look at what was going on.
"How rude!"
Sadly, no sign of his timid member. Yet. But there is some good news. Both the Ent and I think that he is relieving himself more freely and with more force. I think with the ledge of fibrous tissue gone, the path is clear for better flow (ahem). So although we haven't seen the full benefits of the surgery yet, we're definitely beginning to an see improvement, and that makes us very happy; sad pony watchers that we are.
