Poor old man |
The little cut caused a huge lump of swelling on the left side of his face. Poor guy! He was clear-eyed and cheery otherwise, so I carefully maneuvered the halter on and took him to the BO for a consult.
It's ugly, but it's not infected (yet) or getting worse. He is now getting SMZs and a little bute to help with the inflammation and of course, I am monitoring the situation like the neurotic nelly I am. He seems fine otherwise, but the swelling is right where the cheekstrap of the bridle lays, so he also got the day off.
Looking like a giant chipmunk

I did discover that Mr Cuna is wonderful about taking his meds though. I put them in with a cup or so of senior and some applesauce and he licked out his feeder. No worries there.
Poor boy! Hope it's better tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! Poor guy! Heal quickly, Cuna!
ReplyDeleteIt only slightly marrs his handsome, chiseled looks. He'll be better in no time!
ReplyDeletePoor pony! Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteim glad its anything worse
ReplyDeletePoor Cuna! Hope it heals up fast.
ReplyDeletePoor guy! I'm glad it's something minor - looks like it should heal quickly and hopefully he'll be 100% in no time!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I've seen bumps like that before. You could put a cold compress on it--ice it for a few minutes. That might feel good if he will let you touch it. Otherwise, sounds as if you are doing everything just right and he'll be fine in a few days.
ReplyDeleteAwww Mr. Cuna. Get better soon!
ReplyDeleteAww poor baby! I hope he feels better soon!
