IsItFridayYet?
Hey vet-ly inclined people.
***
Wee difficult child's pony is finally standing firmly on all fours as of Saturday night. That is the first time since the abscess that he would let me pick up and hold the hoof opposite the abcessed one for a length of time. The limp has been gone for about a week.
***
He is still on a low dose of antibiotics, and there is still a small hole in the heel bulb where it broke thru and drained. I am cleaning it daily with iodine.
***
How long should I continue the iodine and antibiotic? This little guy has been stalled for 3+ weeks now, and now that he can walk without pain, he really wants to move out of there (and I would like him to!)
