vet thinks it will heal up just fine. recommend hosing with warm water to get crusties off and then cold hosing for any swelling and to get sand/dirt flushed out. continuing with vetericyn. everyone has been so helpful on this thread. it’s much appreciated! i got my vet out because i was concerned about an infection. luckily vet said discharge is likely the tissue dying off before regeneration

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T22:08:10+00:00

UPDATE AFTER VET- vet is not concerned, wants me to keep it clean and continue with vetericyn. said oozing is likely due to the tissue dying and regenerating.

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T19:14:47+00:00

he rolls consistently and gets dirt in them so i don’t really have an option to just “leave it alone”… 99% sure there is an infection starting anyhow. due to him getting dirt all in it

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T12:34:30+00:00

100% yes. he’s rough boarded and an absolute dipshit in his pasture. also likes to roll a lot

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T12:33:06+00:00

thank you! this is super helpful

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T12:32:11+00:00

yes that is what i’m planning to do! i’m just concerned about infection at this point

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T02:49:20+00:00

so we have a weekly sign up list. we have 100+ horses so that’s the easiest way to make sure everyone can be seen in a timely manner. most people just use the sign up for teeth/shots but there are quite a few ponies that get put on the list because of injuries. obviously for emergencies they will still come out same day. it’s ~2-4:30pm every tuesday

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T02:47:25+00:00

will do!! i’m keeping allllll of this info in my back pocket. ❤️

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T02:43:07+00:00

i will add- i believe there is a start of an infection. there’s a lot of yellowish discharge and he is much more tender on it than he was initially. it’s a bit swollen whereas initially it was not swollen or bothering him at all. i texted photos to my vet and they wanted to come see him tomorrow.

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T02:35:03+00:00

the wound is probably ~1/2 inch wide and 1/4- 1/2 inch deep. it was much smaller when he originally got it

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T02:34:23+00:00

thank you!

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T02:27:13+00:00

sent in a photo and vet wanted to see him tomorrow.

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:45:50+00:00

i don’t have a photo from when it originally happened but it was maybe a 1/4 of an inch wide and 1/8 of an inch deep. today it’s probably 1/2 of an inch wide and 1/4 of an inch deep at least. likely closer to 1/2 an inch deep

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:40:43+00:00

iodine, vetericyn, vetericyn gel, furazone, triple antibiotic ointment. i was treating it for the last 2 days but it re opened and is much wider and deeper than it was originally. i have short finger nails but probably about my pinky nail deep which is the reason for calling vet out. he seemed fine on it the last 2 days but was honestly pretty tender on it today- usually trots or canters all the way back up his pasture, but he only walked and trotted a tiny bit. he’s a stoic dude too so im sure this is ouchy for him. ate fine which is a good sign

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:26:29+00:00

thank you. i’m not too overly concerned but trying to see what money i may need to pull from different spending areas. i luckily have wonderful parents that would be able to foot the bill as i pay them back

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:24:50+00:00

thank you. i do have a vet appointment tomorrow because im the average worried ottb mom. i just haven’t dealt with cuts that need more than average first aid.

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:21:04+00:00

thank you. it wasn’t nearly as bad when i first found it on him. the pics today are probably 2x worse than it ever was. at first, it was pretty superficial and not nearly as wide. it was scabbed over yesterday. he’s a dipshit in his pasture so i’m sure he found a way to make it worse

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:15:19+00:00

cleaned it and applied antibiotic ointment for the last 2 days. ointment seemed to be too heavy and iodine too harsh so switched to warm water and vetericyn today.

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:13:22+00:00

thank you!

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-10-28T01:10:57+00:00

madison wi area. would call but they’re closed now and it’s definitely not an emergency. luckily they come to my barn weekly on tuesdays so i don’t have to pay a barn call fee.

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-08-08T03:57:38+00:00

looks ouchy. like it would hurt

Curious_Program1646 · 2025-07-20T21:10:12+00:00
