I don't often post on here - I'm much more of a lurker, but I'd appreciate some healing vibes for my poor horse who has just undergone an excision of a rather large mast cell tumour on his face (more common in dogs than horses). He is feeling very much sorry for himself.
They had to take out much more than they thought, and so have been unable to stitch up so it will have to heal of its own accord (its about the size of my fist to put photo's into perspective). Wondered if anyone here had any experiences with such things. Looks like he won't be able to come home from the vets until next week. He whinnied at me when I left this morning - even the groom cried!
-What have you done to me mum?!
- Purple line on far right is his main facial nerve, hence why they were unable to stitch him up for fear of damaging it.
- Sorry if I just put anyone off lunch!
-He isn't too keen on his bandages!
Anyway cookies to all those that decided to take a look, hopefully he can come home again soon!
