Paint Mare update

Here are some photos from today

After a Bath

Looks like she has gained some weight over the past 9 days

Her rear might look a tad larger than it did a week ago, below



Leg freshly wrapped
Looking VERY thin from the front, too

Here is a refreshed on what she looked like 9 days prior
Not sure the photos show it - but she looks a bit heavier in person



Front hooves

I know this looks bad, but a lot of the proud flesh
is starting to go down, and if you look over on the left
of the screen - you can see just how much most of it has
went down. That section is still very "thick and high."

Below is from 3 days ago - see how thick it still was?
It has closed a lot since then, too
The bleeding above it from her messing with it

She is limping a lot more today, but the Bute is now all out of
her system.
That is likely normal.
The vet said to only do one week of Bute, so we are not giving more right now.

  1. You might want to try using B-L Solution, which is a herbal pain relief that doesn't have the side effects that Bute has. I've had really good luck with it in the past and it might help that poor girl feel a little better. She certainly looks like she's gained 50 lbs or so! :)

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens
