He may be ok with it if you send him some animal crackers. Those are his favorite.

How does one send animal crackers through PM??

The stall always looks so dirty at night, she was pawing the ground a bit.

Here, its hard to tell so I outlined it.
Tommorow I will take off the wrap and see how her hoof is doing. Now I didn't wrap it to tight, just firm enough that it wouldn't fall off. The peroxide also helped me determine the outline of the wound. She was good with standing while I trimmed as long as I had her calm. I didn't want to flip her as long as I didn't have too. Just hope it heals up nice. Her hoof was a little hot, is this normal? I know for humans that is a sign of infection.. So

She is doing much better! Her hoof healed back together overnight. The way it got cut, it was hanging open partially falling off(a small part) When I went to flush it this afternoon it was healed nice and shut. She is out happily grazing now. She is still limping but I think she will be alright in a few days.

Her hoof is open again :barnie

, tommorow I think she needs to be on stall rest. I hate to do that to her, but her hoof can't keep opening up. Good news is there is less heat by her hoof.

Yes, tetanus is included in a CDT. Sometimes, I will go ahead and give tetanus antitoxin just because I've had tetanus on my place and I don't play around with it!

@luvmypets, I don't know if you gave the antitoxin, but if you did, be sure to follow it up with another CDT because the antitoxin negates the toxoid, so no immunity afterwards.

Her limp is about 50% better. I kept saying "dad she needs stall rest" but he let her out anyway. She actually ran out which surprised me, anyways, I will just let her do her thing.
