Wraps and Wraps and it's not even Christmas

Poor Filly just can't catch a break. Her left hind leg is sore & swollen. It was first noticed after she was trimmed on Sun & she was sore when she walked off. The swelling is high, just below the hock, encompassing both the front & back of the leg. It appears to be tendon/tendon sheath in nature. It's not known what happened. She could have been stepped on, maybe she & Grey Girl were playing & she got kicked, or maybe she tweaked it during her trim. Poor Filly was feeling really sorry for herself, acting depressed & hanging all over CMK for sympathy. Her eyes are so expressive & you could see the dejected look in them. Looks like she'll now have 4 legs wrapped.

Filly's front legs are doing fabulous. Her left leg has now gone to an elbow support brace with the 1/2 cast. Slowly the bulky wraps & splints have come off. In the next few days the 1/2 cast will be removed. The only area of her leg that needs support is her pastern & that can be achieved through wrapping alone. The 12 hours on/12 hours off schedule has worked perfectly. Her legs have strengthened without tiring. She no longer wears any cuff & her feet are looking good. Filly has come a long way & appears to be on the short road now. What a wonderful filly.

Grey Girl is doing good. Her diarrhea is gone & she appears to be none the worse. Her personality is coming out & she's cute, cute, cute. She has the brightest eyes & is curious about everything. When CMK takes Filly's wraps off in the morning, GG is standing behind them, chewing on hair & shirt. She loves to be scratched & is becoming quite the little Miss Personable. It's so much fun to watch Filly & GG become friends. Two fillies are definitely better than one.
