Not there yet...

Took Barokko to the clinic today. He loaded and hauled like a pro both ways, good boy :)

Bad news, still lots of gunk in his lungs :( She took new BAL samples that will be sent out to confirm that it's still pseudomonas and not a new secondary infection. When the results get back in about a week, he'll start a new round of antibiotics. If it's still pseudomonas he'll have to have the medication administered intravenously = vet visits ten days in a row. I'll handwalk him every now and then to give him a change of scenery, but no riding, he's too affected by the infection, so he'll get a few more weeks of kicking it as a pasture puff.

Here he is at the clinic, waiting for the sedatives to kick in:
