[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 314783, member: 1963"] I'd ask your farrier, assuming s/he is up to date (not to get down on the amateur Amish and Mennonite shoers out there, but...) about how to cope with the wound. You don't want it to close up too soon. I'd actually wonder about getting an EZ-BOOT for that foot. They are sort of horse galoshes and they come up and over the bulb of the heel. People often use them over foot wounds. I am assuming he is current on his tetanus vaccines? That's the big fear with these types of wounds. The tetanus bacterium lives normally in a horse's colon. It only causes problems when it winds up somewhere else. This is why it is so important that horses and those who work with them have current tetanus vaccine status. [/QUOTE]
