Hi Everyone, Just an update. My mare seems to be doing well, although the soaking went much less than well. She just wasn't real keen on the idea, to understate the situation. Stupid thing will stand for hours in the irrigation ditch, but not 10 minutes in a rubber bucket Resorted to...

Thank you all, again. Yes, it is very good news and I'm very relieved. Still have to leave tonight and be gone most of tomorrow, but my mom said she thought she would be able to soak her foot in the morning for me. I'll give her (the horse, not my mom) the meds in the evening before I leave...

Well, the vet just left and, thankfully, it's not a bowed tendon or anything like that. She has a hoof abcess. Not the best of news, but better than a bowed tendon. He managed to open it up and get some drainage started, gave me some antibiotics and bute, told me to soak it twice a day for a...

Wish I could call the vet, but truly have no money for it - have spent around $800 in vet bills over the last two months on dogs/cats, which has truly depleted the funds She's in a stall and will stay there. I have to leave on a business trip tomorrow afternoon and won't be back until...

Went out to feed the horses this morning and the three boys showed up, but not my mare. Could hear her crying because they left her behind. High-tailed it over to where she was, and her left front foreleg was swollen from just below the knee down to the ankle. Slowly led her to the barn and...
