The tape is used to keep dirt and other nasty stuff away from his wound. It is still pretty yucky and he doesn't put much weight on that foot yet. This healing process is going to take months. He was allowed out in the pasture for the first time since going to the vet - and promptly tore the bandage off his hoof. Actually, 'wore through his bandage' would be a better description. He desperately wanted to run around with all his herd-mates! So we will be going to the barn daily to check on the bandage and replace as needed.
E. had her visit with the podiatrist. Her ankle wound is a bit more than a fracture. She broke a little section on the outer bony part and it's going to take a long while to heal completely as well. She has been wearing regular shoes for the past couple of days but is still unable to get her boots on.
So my two gimps were hanging out, getting brushed and learning to french braid yesterday. Curly may be lame at the moment, but he sure did look great!
