OUCH!!!

I whine when I get a sliver under my fingernail.

Poor horsey!! I'm glad you all figured out the problem and fixed it. Will the horse take an internal antibiotic for that or just topical?

When someone sees Terri, tell her her ritual worked to bring my tubes a week early-
but I was not where I could hear the mailman. suggest she keep trying for those other wishes. I'll do my part better.

He gets an oral antibiotic daily and an anti-inflammatory twice daily. Both are a large plastic syringe with a plastic tip. The medicine is a paste squirted on the back of the tongue. We will make a farm girl out of you Crissa.

I posted a vague representation of the request. Though I was seriously tempted to wait for Zane's interpretation of it.

Good to see you back Zane, hope your horse's foot heals quickly.

when I was younger I spent a year in Greece studying, it afforded me the opportunity to see my grandmother much more often than I was used to

Every other weekend I would go out to the small village where she lived and she would have young men calling for me, all shepheards; as she told me, "you will have meat, wool, yogurt and milk, what else could you possibly want?" and if I said what about love, she would look at me sternly and tell me that you learn to love your husband.

Needless to say I didn't marry a shepheard.

*waving* Hi Yvette!! I love the look on her face.

Hard not to take a liking to Yvette, eh? She is a looker.

Crissa, I love that. LOL. Like living without love is ok as long as you are warm and full.

Good story Crissa

In my horses case the wood was stuck down the hoof wall from the top where the hoof meets flesh(coronary band). He probably caught the edge of a log or fence as we jumped it and it pushed the wood in from the top

sounds painfull

It is tender, he will lift it if you press on it, but he is not lame. He will stand pretty still while we work on it. Horses are stoic guys it is amazing the pain they will tolerate. On the other hand a biting fly will make them crazy. Freaks.

I am alive guys, thanks for wondering, it makes one feel warm. I guess a bit of brain funk set in but I am beating it.
I have a horse with an infected foot wound. This means meds twice a day, soaking for 20 minutes once a day, 45 minutes travel each way. Combined I guess it takes about 4 or 5 hours out of my day. The good news is Leyla dug around and pulled a 1 inch piece of wood out of his foot so he should be on the mend now.

Poor baby

I thought coffee press, but I sure hope Zane doesn't use one of those.

Glad it worked in part, Wu...I will repeat and see what happens.

Besides, wool is very scratchy, lol!

Anyone have a picture of "good coffee being extracted?" I am ready to shoot myself peeing if necessary. Never say I didn't step up to the plate when needed.

Here's the ballpark of what I was pushing for with the coffee extraction:

Well, it is good coffee. And it was extracted from those pots all morning.

Looks like our camping mornings, getting several pots of coffee brewing is the first thing of the morning routine. For us we usally get everything ready the night before so all we have to do is light the fire. After all, we haven't had any caffine yet so we need a no-brainer task in the early morning hours.

Your treatments appear to be doing the trick. Very clean wound with little inflamation. Are you packing it at all to allow it to heal from the inside out? With horses, especially Thoroughbreds, you pretty much have to be an expert in all kinds of health treatments. However, the routine you have had to go through this summer no doubt has made you an expert in wound care.

Crissa Great story.
