While I was out of town over the weekend spending some quality time with my amazing family Annie was at home brewing an infection.
ย Apparently having hives and scabs covering the majority of her body wasn’t enough… She felt the need to also cut her self. On what I am not entirely sure.
I was trying not to be too concerned about the cut as it didn’t seem too deep but it was in the back of my head all weekend. Unfortunately it must have been more of a puncture wound or gotten something in it because it blew up and opened up.
While I was goneย the delicate flower got medicated baths for her hives as well as cold hosing. By Sunday night when I got home her leg was still kind of angry and I was able to give her some oral antibiotics. The vet came out on Monday and gave her a jump start on the healing with an IV injection of meds.
We are also cold hosing daily and doing standing bandages when she is inside. I really didn’t want to pull her turnout so we just swapped it so that I am able to cold hose, bute, and wrap her after work for her night in. So far so good.
Re-Check is later today so I am crossing my fingers she gets a good report!
Goodness, Annie, no more boo boos!
Fingers crossed. She’s killing me!
Ouch! Hope she heals right up. Family time looked like lots of fun!
It was a blast for sure!
Oof long day for her
๐
oh no Annie – don’t you go down that accident prone path too!!! hopefully she heals up asap!
No kidding. She needs to stop heading down this path.
Taking the pretty, pretty princess thing to a whole new level! I hope she gets everything sorted out soon!
She needs to lose the tiara haha
Poor Annie! Hope she heals up soon!
Hopefully she’ll be good as new in a week or so.
Uh oh Annie – don’t be a high maintenance chestnut princess!
She’s taking the job very seriously!
Man Ponies just can’t catch a break ๐
I guess not. ๐
Poor Annie!
She’ll make it: just needs to diva her way through
Oh no! Hoping this is the last in the series of medical setbacks!
Horses will be horses… I’m sure she’ll find something else to maim herself on.
Oh, horses ๐
I was going to be giving her time off anyways due to her age she just made it less fun for herself.
Uggghhh welcome back to horse ownership! Gah!
I think I’ve hit the # of vet visits required to be inducted back into the group haha
Someone wanted to go on vacation with you lol!!
Here’s to her healing quickly!!
