Good morning! And hugs all around lol
Thanks, everyone for the kind words and well-wishes for my old mare. She was a trooper, nearly 5 hours, 2 vets, 2 techs (one even came on her day off) here for her standing surgery. They removed 2 fairly large bone fragments from inside her jaw, cleaned and debrided the large abscess track and attempted to remove a tooth in the area that eventually she got to keep!
I took lots of pics but won't include any yucky ones here lol. I don't want to make anyone lose their coffee
She has a recheck next week to remove the gauze with iodine scrub that's packed and sutured in the wound and if all looks good next week, she'll have that pack replaced with a plaster of Paris "filling" infused with antibiotics. That will fill the abscess tract and hopefully she will heal completely and not continue to abscess under her jaw.
I'm very thankful to have such an awesome vet. He saved her from impaction colic 2 years ago as well. 29 years old and I've had her for 20 years so she's very special to me
Awesome! So glad she is with you.
You all are sure making me want to try incubating!
