Beau has a wart/sacrcoid thing on his chest (had vet out last week, isnt sure if sarcoid or wart, said leave it alone).
anyway went up yard lastnight, OH brought him in and his sarcoid thing had been literally ripped open.
I think he must have been playing or fighting because it was a right mess, literally gouged, quite bloody, which had dried, half of it is hanging off, and looks a mess.
He was trying to eat the vet when he looked at it last week, but was a very good boy lastnight while I cleaned it, however I dont know what to do with it now, it cant heal like that it will look a mess, so I think im going to get the vet out today.
Also, some of you may have noticed in OH's cantering vid the other day, I have removed Beau's flash now. he was head tossing a bit and I wanted to see if it was just babyishness etc.
Anyway he was much better without the flash, no head tossing, BUT, he was sometimes putting his head at an odd angle if we did anything faster than walk, like this:
So I thought, is he just playing with the bit, getting used to having no flash, but I dont think so. So now Im thinking teeth and maybe his head tossing was trying to tell me something, he is so genuine he would never kick up a fuss.
But because he is putting his head at that angle at times, it also makes his gaits look funny, so then I think lame, or back!
So needless to say I think I will be calling the vet out today, poor boy.
Oh and to top it off, other horse has a huge crack down the entire inside of his hoof I discovered yesterday.
Ho hum!
Sorry for very long post!
