Got quite the nasty surprise this afternoon. It was a nice warm day so we decided that it was bath day for all the four legged friends on the farm. Well we finally really got to give Katie her first serious bath. Well as we where washing her tail a rather large clump of dirt washed off and I was like wow where did that come from. Well Katie went to swish a fly and I saw that it was not dirt that came falling off her it was a rather large scab from an old wound that was never treated and when that washed off we where left with a golf ball size hole under her tail! It was the nastiest thing that I have ever seen, I called the vet and she happened to be in the area so she stopped out to take a look.
Well there is nothing that we can do for this other than clean it daily and put Nitrofurozone on it. The wound was too old to stitch it closed so we have to let it heal from the inside out. All I have to say is thank the Good Lord that this mare was blessed on a immense amount of patience, she lets me house it out and put the medicine on it without kicking the living daylights out of me
