After a week, the swelling went down on that one...and it was the opposite hind leg that the current abscess is on.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723871612780795334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830461055504948600.post-81337322873308647502008-12-05T10:30:00.000-06:002008-12-05T10:30:00.000-06:00Chico's injuries tend to be focused on his legs. ...Chico's injuries tend to be focused on his legs.

Kicked in the face by another colt--needed cleaned out and pulled together (I can't remember how they did that now). 2.) Couldn't gain weight--needed teeth floated every 6 months from 1 year old., 3.) Got kicked in the chest by a filly--stitches. (He was gelded but always trying to mount her). 4.) Fatal colic at 3 years from displaced intestines. (Who knows how it happened--he rolled ALL the time in playfulness and was always getting kicked. <BR/><BR/>He also had a bad habit of pulling backward and flipping himself over when he was freaked out, but other than that, a super sweety with a great personality. But, as I said, he died at 3 years old.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830461055504948600.post-44173785260666732008-12-05T09:28:00.000-06:002008-12-05T09:28:00.000-06:00Some horses just seem to get good at getting into ...Some horses just seem to get good at getting into trouble...

Seemed like they couldn't go a month without the vet out.<BR/><BR/>Glad it was something minor this time!Andrea -Mustang Sagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576342393431178404noreply@blogger.com
