I've been really stressed out lately. As you know I have 3 horses that are very dear to me.
My gelding (my very first horse and also the one I competed on before I had kids) got tangled in some downed electric tape fence and cut his hindleg pretty badly.
At first it seemed okay but then it started to get worse. We had to haul him to the vet clinic this weekend because he was developing proud flesh.
The treatment for that is a powder that dissolves the unwanted flesh. Yes -liquifies my horse!
So when it's time to change the bandage it's full of grey goop that used to be part of my horse's leg.
I can't wait for this to be over. He's on antibiotics so hopefully it won't get any worse. It's close to his joint so infection would be very very bad.
Makes you realize how easy and less gross the care of stick fish is: just add a few drops to the water and hope for the best...
