Could you soak his feet in warm Epsom salt water for a few minutes then rub some good oil into his feet and toes. That method has never failed any of my girls.This morning Mr P is doing well, I didn't give him any more Tylenol - I want to see how he gets on without any pain relief.
Meanwhile he is absolutely terrified of Mr LC, who has decided to take advantage of this and add further distress to the poor wee Mr P. After I locked Mr LC away, Mr P came on out into the main barn with his ladies and did his usual morning thing of digging through horse poop and watching over his ladies.
I am hoping once he is completed his moult he will feel much better and not run from Mr LC. The other 2 youngsters (Shorley and Clyde) don't bother him and in fact hang out with him.
The plan for today is to (as usual) let them out for the day, and see how Mr P does, he seems a bit sore still when walking, not sure if that's his poor toes/feet, or residual effects from being attacked. Either way I will see how he gets on, and if I feel he needs longer term pain meds I will ask my Horse Vet to order in some Meloxicam for him. Between him, Red, Sharpie, Ruth, the two old horses Truly and Lulu, and me we are all a walking pharmacopeia!
