Trotting even worries me because Baby Doll pins her ears back and then jumps into the trot with such force it feels like a jackhammer. gah!<br /><br />Looks like you got some nice buys...that cozy chair and pretty pillow. Good luck with the flowers. I kill them by just touching them. I love looking at them, but they don't do well for me.<br /><br />Have you tried tea tree oil or Manuka honey on the wound yet? Both are amazing healers.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371458020564881376.post-88466364375251450472009-09-01T23:30:12.504-05:002009-09-01T23:30:12.504-05:00How strange - my own response didn't post!

In cattle, the grub matures, hatches and leaves. In horses, it can't mature and leave and dies under the skin leaving an infected hole like your photo. They are common in California, not so much Texas. If it doesn't heal up soon, I would sure have a vet check it out. One of my horses in Austin had one in the same area and I eventually had to have surgery done to remove it. I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you...my computer crashed and I'm way behind!

Even use it on my own owie's. Have you tried splashing a bit on Lilly's wound? It is such a popular hair tonic for people that they have come out with a version that doesn't smell like hades.restoration42https://www.blogger.com/profile/09225587029759842297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371458020564881376.post-41869633938510176212009-08-30T20:36:07.087-05:002009-08-30T20:36:07.087-05:00It looks to me like Lily's wound is healing.
