OMG!! Thats SO good to here!!!! !SDBoerGoats said:Wow what a day! Got up early to drive over the mountain to pick up a wonderful horse from a wonderful friend for William. The gelding is 20 years old, has been used in 4H and OHSET. He looks like he isn't a day over 12. Has lots more experience than William, and I will feel so much safer with him riding this horse.
Of course, had chores to do and antibiotics to give to Sparky. I walked to her stall with her grain and meds, and she met me. Walking on ALL FOUR LEGS! Seriously, she was putting weight on the injured foot, not 100% flat footed, but 98%!!!!!
I stood there with my mouth hanging open, in shock. The vet said if she didn't walk and show noticeable improvement in 48 hours, she was done. This is only 21 hours later.
My daughter told me to not get too excited. But I can't help it, I was so happy today, I thanked God over and over. If squirting pure penicillin into the foot worked this fast, why on earth didn't he do it earlier? I am going to have to ask him that Thursday, as we have a date early Thursday morning. I changed the bandage tomorrow, after the 48 hours, and put on a Curasorb bandage.
Well, I wish my jello would set up a little so I can finish my 4th of July flag mold. I am so tired, lots of stuff going on today, and been missing a lot of sleep. I am thinking I might sleep tonight.
Hope every one has a Happy 4th of July! It's cool here, last year it was over 100 on the 4th. Tonight I have a sweatshirt on in the house! It barely made 60.
