minty had an operation

kvmt10 · 03-22-2006, 07:09 PM

well yesterday we went up to feed the horses breakfast and minty had escaped his paddock. when we looked closer he had cut up his leg really badly, he had blood all up his side where he had laid down, and there was a blood trail of where he had been, needless to say he needed medical attention.
we took him to the vet and he got the flap of skin taken off because there was no way he could save it, he had a tetanus, long use penicillen and an antiinflammatory needle to help fight infection.
he was so brave! he didnt even flinch when he got the local, and he was such a good boy with everything.
he should be ok shortly, but it was a horrific injury and i was really worried for a bit. i would post a photo but it would be way to graffic and im sure this thread would be deleted.
well thats the goos on my big fellow.
