A fellow that we buy our hay from came a few days ago, and he felt our mare has a good chance of making it.
Why does his opinion matter?
He is on the board of directors for a large Ohio Equine rescue, and he has seen a lot.
Maybe he is mistaken, but it gives me home.
She is still able to walk and is eating well. I cannot put down a horse that is obviously trying to live very hard.
The hoof is going to come off, essentially, where she has the prolapse at the coronet band. I am going to get photos ASAP.
We are keeping it padded and wrapped with a boot on. I wrapped it with a poultice today.
No more maggots. . .thank God for that, but I hope they might have done some good since they were there in regards to eating the dead flesh. . .goodness knows, there was plenty of that. . .
