It’s been a week and five days since my mare and I fell. I figured it was time for an update. I’m going to try to update somewhere between every week and a half to two weeks.
Anyway, she’s doing a lot better. The place above her eye is pretty much bald... I’m hoping the hair grows back. Her knee isn’t swollen at all anymore, and her neck... the swelling in it went down completely a few days ago.
Her chest is healing really well, too... the swelling is down to a bare minimum and there’s only very little heat in it... However, it’s trying to heal, but she keeps messing it up. Every time a scab forms over the wound, she rips it off. I know that it’s probably itching, but if she keeps ripping the scabs that do form off, how will it ever heal? What can I do to keep her from ripping the scab off? I can’t put her up in the barn, and I can’t ‘bandage’ the area... She’s out loose in a 15 acre pasture with two other horses (my three year old Walker, Dakota and my cousin’s thirty-five year old Mustang, Diablo).
Is there anything I can do?
Oh, and as for me... I’m still finding bruises... lol. I’m fine, though... where I got ‘road rash’ on my shoulder is almost completely healed (just got a few ‘cat scratches’ left...) but it’s scarred over in very shiny, very apparent scars... hopefully they’ll fade. It’s odd that it scarred over, though, considering the cuts weren’t bad at all... Lol. Oh well...
