Okay, so I have to jump back in here as much as I'm going to likely regret it. For the poster who is posting about dog pyschology.. have you ever been a dog? Then how can you possibly beging to "understand" their throught process?
I find it amazing that the SAME people who will blow a raccon...
Welcome to BYC. Sorry you kinda got jumped on, it was out of line. I read on here, by a very prolific BYC poster that the next time your dog kills a chicken.. tie the dog on a 12 inch cord with the dead chicken laying next to it. Don't let the dog off for a couple of days, for any reason (Of...

Okay, thats a LOT more information. In this case, sue the (insert word I can't use on this board to describe someone rather unsavory).
I know you weren't bashing vets. The only reason I suggested that everyone on the "fire the vet" bandwagon should chill a bit.. is because we DIDN'T...
I agree.
But one of the most important parts of my post, that I don't want overlooked.. is that the OP went well beyond what anyone, a vet included, would expect of her and because of it, I am certain her horse will be much better off.

A lot of that depends on your relationship with your vet. I've got excellent credit and collateral, but I would be hard pressed to walk into a vet clinic I've never been to and get them to finance a couple grand. They'd wonder why I couldn't just put it on a credit card. I've worked...

Well said. Thank you. I work in a small animal emergency clinic and you would not believe the people who bring in dying dogs and have only $100 to spend and want us to fix them! No heartworm prevention, no vaccines, and so many fleas that I don't even like being in the same room...

I tend to agree, but lets also look at the situation. We would like to think that all vets are in it to help animals and save the world one pet at a time. But for some of them, it is just a business. I worked as a vet tech for a little over a year before I was totally burnt out, by...

For you and the original poster..
Here is some good information on Proud Flesh. Now, it says here to keep the wound bandaged.. and obviously there are going to be discrepancies in the information you're getting. With your particular wound being in the early stages, I think the...
If you can get a cortizone shot that would do wonders for the inflamation. If not, just focus on the antibiotics and cleaning that wound up. If your roommate doesn't start cleaning her horses wound, she's writing his death sentence. Period.
As for your horses temp being 101.5, that's...
Well I got her fuzzy butt in the mail saying her hatch date at McMurray was May 9th. So she better be almost 9 weeks! (Or rather, 8.25 weeks old) or she's a fraud!
OP.. Don't worry about it, your baby will be fine. They manage to squeeze out with a HEN sitting on top of them, they can handle this.
And as for bantams being weaker? Hardly, my bantams pip, zip, hop out of the egg and demand a latte, usually in under 24 hours.. sometimes as quickly as five...
