I have already posted about Star and his inability to sweat. Well he now has an injury so he REALLY can go out and play.
about 2? weeks ago he cut his leg on something (lord knows WHAT he managed to hurt himself on), nothing big, just a tiny cut. This is where things get stupid. My bf's dad told my BO's hubby to wrap it AFTER my Bf said to leave it be (this is BO's horse). What happens when you wrap a small cut? The leg blows up like a balloon. So the vet came out to a horse who was hobbling on 3 legs. The leg was 3 times its normal size. She said to give him bute, antibiotics and to spray the cut with an antiseptic spray, and to keep warping it. Well here is what it looked like today...
Because he is in pain he had decided food is no longer his favorite thing so he had dropped weight. And to top it all off poor guy Lost a front shoe. He tore the hoof up to much to get another shoe on (to where it wont just come right back off and do MORE damage) there and we cant pick the other one up long enough to take the other off -_-' here is vid of my Bf is his 'stylish' shorts rounding off the toe so he dose not do more damage to the hoof. (so you can see what the poor thing looks like now)
(he did not mean to drop the leg, the horse was leaning on him and his leg was digging into BFs)
Is that leg as bad as it looks?
(felt like sharing this as my family will not want to look at 'gross' pics XD)
