We don't know what he done...if he done anything really. But the surgical sight was open and draining yucky stuff.....along with lots of swelling when I found him today. He was standing in a sandy hole that they roll in.....I'd seen him there earlier....but didn't think a whole lot of it, because all the horses were right there around him..grazing. I just thought he'd been there rolling as usual. Then a couple hours later I went back to the garden and had picked stuff....stood up and looked down that way....and he was still standing there. Only this time he was way low in the back end. So I got on the 4 wheeler and drove over there. His good hind leg was about 8 inches down in the sand...not stuck...but he'd been turning around and around.....not puttin any weight on the surgery leg. So I go get a halter and lead rope....and Mr Lilly.....go back and he'd laid down. So got him up.....and sent Mr Lilly for the trailer because he wouldn't put any weight at all on it...without quivverin and almost fallin down. Somehow managed to get him in the trailer.....and off to Dr Honnas' we went.
Tendon Sheath infection. Not good. He kept him there....texted me a lil while ago, and said the flush went well...but we will hafta wait and see how well he does. He's on a couple different antibiotics. All we can do is say our prayers and hope he comes thru this.
