Grace's scars...

[_jetset_]

I have just had the final bandage change done on Grace's hind legs after the PSD operation, and I cannot believe how little scarring there is

I couldn't even see them until my vet pointed out exactly where they are!

He has said the scars are looking really good, and although there is a little swelling, it should start to go down with time

I am so pleased, I imagined the scars to be pretty gruesome, but they are fantastic!

We could finally be on our way to a sound and healthy horse.... TOUCH WOOD!

I did get some pictures of the scars, but you can't see a thing, so I didn't think they would be of much interest to people

Fantastic! So glad to hear that Grace is on the mend at last

Is she completely ok after her colic op now?

Yeah... the colic scar is looking pretty good. She has a small abscess that is being caused by one of the sutures, but it is looking ready to pop very soon, and I have been assured by the surgeon and my own vet that it is absolutely nothing to worry about. It has a nickname, and is quite common, but I can't remember it. I think they called it a knot something or other

Great, im really glad her scars are looking better than you thought they would! Her legs are probably swollen from all the standing in aswell

I thought they would be gruesome... but I was actually looking at the wrong thing for a good few minutes

I just couldn't see them!

He said it is a combination of bandaging and being box rested and that it is nothing to worry about

Hmmm, this vet knows me far too well
