So, I didn't post since last Sunday as there was not much to post about. I re-started the treatment on both ears now and will continue until it is done. After the Wednesday session his ears caught on quickly with the inflammation and they are all raw and red again. The scabs come off easy as the are are pussy underneath. Cleaning with a wet cloth is still not his favorite part but we're getting the job done. The good thing is that with all the hair gone and most of the plaques as well, I get to focus on the left over spots. The whole thing does not take more than 15 min (+5 min for the sedation to set in).
Lesson learned though that a sedated horse can still be easily startled. I went into his stall to put his blanket on and he did not notice me coming. He had his face to the back corner. Suddenly he realized something was rustling and rattling behind him and he flew forward, head first into the wall !!!! Then he turned his head around and looked at me with a sheepish look on his face. Thankfully he didn't hurt himself and with the sedation he might not feel a headache either ... Sorry Boy, I'll be a little LOUDER next time so you can hear me coming into your stall!!
No pictures this time.
