Good Night Sleep Tight

Filly is having a tough time lately. Not only does she need daily rewrapping & splinting on her front legs, she has a sore hind leg & now she has a goopy eye. Poor little girl. Her short life has sure had some rough patches. Medication was put in her eye & hopefully that will resolve the problem. She was such a good filly for her eye ointment. Her hind leg is still sore & she limps a little, but the swelling is much better. A few scratches were noticed on the upper front of her cannon bone so maybe she got her leg caught on something. There are no holes in the non-climb so it wasn't in the fence. It could have been on a berry bush or maybe a low tree branch. CMK will be working in the pasture with pruners to make sure there's nothing to catch little legs. A wait & see approach is being taken since the leg is a little better. It was finally time to wean Filly's left leg from the 1/2 cast. She was wrapped with extra support around the pastern, but no cast. Her pastern is still a little loose so some support is needed. She will be watched very closely to make sure her leg doesn't tire or weaken. Hopefully she is ready to live without casts or splints. She sure seemed happy to have more freedom of movement when she trotted out of the barn & into her night-night paddock.
