Hey guys!
Just an update on what is going on over here. My ponio recently tore off a wart from his boy bits (he has sarcoids on them which the vet recommended we don't remove as they've never bother him before and the operation would be more traumatic for him than just keeping them), the wound was about 1cm and a half in diameter and half a centimetre deep. Anyway, we got the vet out and she said she couldn't stitch it - she did however clean it and gave us antiseptic cream to apply 4 times a day as well as that he needs to go out in a paddock with no mud/dust that can get into the wound and he needs to be kept quiet (as she didn't want him tearing off the scab).
It seemed to be going well for a couple of days, the swelling went down a bit (though he still couldn't pull it into the sheath). It's been a bit more than a week now and we've had the vet out again about 3 days ago - it seems that the wound got infected despite our best efforts and lots of cream and disgusted looks (coming from both ponio and I). She's given him a full course of antibiotics to try and beat the infection and we're continuing keeping it clean.
If the infection doesn't get better ponio will completely loose his boy bits (he doesn't use them for anything but I'm worrying about the little fella).
I feel so bad for him . Hate seeing him like this!
Please send positive vibes for his recovery!
Here are some photos of my little boy <3. He's my absolute pride and joy
He is also an amazing EM dressage horse but I doubt we'll be able to ride team selections in February (if he has to be amputated). Just hoping he gets better though
Sorry for the pity party - but my boy's injury has really gotten to me (no matter how ridiculous it's location may be)
