She's just so easy!!! I mean, aside from the whole awful skin, swollen legs, multiple abscess, and gas colic things. :) She's still sore on the right front again, from what I'm assuming is an abscess. And we haven't had rain every night in a few days so she's not "soaking" it like she was. I debated trying to soak it tonight but I know how much she likes to paw. BUT... before dinner I pulled her out and put her in the cross ties and picked her feet. I still can't find anything nor can I pinpoint where exactly it is wanting to come out but she's standing on her toe and medially, so I'm assuming it's the lateral heal again.. Anyways, we also did some medicated lotion on her skin funk. And then I thought... maybe the bemer would help! So I put one on her front foot and she didn't freak out. So then after a minute I put the other one on her right hind, since that was still a little puffy. She wiggled a bit and picked those feet up high a time or two. And she was pawing but that was probably just because she was pawing before the bemer went on too. So yay! Now I'll order her fly boots! Maybe that will help her legs? Hopefully not make them worse!
Then while we were waiting for the bemer to finish... I grabbed the bareback pad and put it on her... and cinched it up. I didn't tighten in... but it was flush against her belly. She didn't even blink. :) SOOOO easy! I wonder if I'll eat my words later. ;)
But what a good girl! And such a pretty girl. I know it won't matter, but I really hope she stays red. She's getting white hairs at the base of her main now too and there's a bit more white throughout her hiney. She's so sweet too! A close talker. ha ha. And a bit of a greedy piglet with treats, but she hasn't gotten to where she's mugging you yet. She doesn't seem to get greedy about cookies until you give her one. It's not like she's expecting them non-stop.
