Thanks guys! It’s been a long road but it’s amazing what horses can recover from. Hopefully this will help future people not feel despair when facing a similar injury. I know you guys helped me a lot!

WooHoo!!! Great nursing job on this one. It’s amazing what they can heal from, but I never underestimate the about of human time and patience that it takes to get there.

Just read the whole story, fantastic job.
What a great owner to keep a blind horse and then do this as well. A lot of work and money.
Horses can injure themselves even in a padded stall wrapped in bubble wrap.

If you didn’t wean off the wraps, that would have helped prevent that sort of rebound swelling. If it’s still fat, I’d wrap again, and wean off after a few days of 24x7 wrapped. You don’t want the lymphatic system there permanently damaged

That may be a good idea. Not sure why I didn’t think of it?
It was mentioned a few times, but I know it’s terribly hard to think of everything in the moment

Silver sulfadiazine ointment slathered on will help protect it til it finishes healing. Don’t be too ambitious cleaning it off between applications, as you can disturb any scab which is beneficial. This approach usually avoids exuberant granulation aka proud flesh…
