Yesterday I was really pleased with how the swelling was going down and that the little wound was dry and crusting over nicely.

Today I get a call from Friend (I was having a day at home with hubby).

Dizzy is lame. Wound is infected. Can't get to it to clean it up - Dizz not being a cow, just waving poorly leg around. I rang vet. Pulled hubby away from the Grand Prix (oh am I popular lol).

Antibiotics for five days. Bute for three days. Cold hose twice a day. Have left her in overnight as worried that she can't get out of the way fast enough, hobbly daft mare!

Knit one, purle one.
 
oh MrsM your lot are in the wars, well I'll send some ((((quick fix)))) vibes to help them on their way

Vibes to the Dizzy one!
 
Aww, poor Dizzy, hope the antib's kick in and she is on the mend soon.

I think I am joining you, the youngster got a nice big fat hock after a kick in the field, tough little thing is completely sound though (at the moment!!)

Thankies thankies all. Even the vet is scratching her head in disbelief! Good job she knows me well and that, despite all apparent appearances to the contrary, the neds are well cared for

yes definatley soon - when silly essay is in and maybe around my birthday in November for a treat! will give her a hug and polos!
 
MrsM, perhaps you should put in Dizzy's stable a list of accidents and the cost of treatments and tell her it's coming out of her feed and hay bill. Only joking sorry she's lame, don't you want to spit sometimes
 
How about Manuka honey on it?

The Spooky Pony had a deep kick last Spring, and definitely wouldn't let anybody near it---broke the metal clip on a lead rope and actually fell over in his efforts to get away. I ended up softening the honey in the nuke so it was nice and liquidy, putting a big blob on a clean cloth, and just slapping the cloth over the wound before he'd had time to notice. By the time he leapt away, it was well covered in honey.

JR - that could be a plan! Spit, spat, and spot - indeed

Hope this is the third of your troubles - so sorry!
Have some Bombay Sapphire in your hot choccy - it will help (albeit temporarily) - promise!
