Vet Checkup
Monday morning vet check went well. Isis’ incision is healing well. Overall, she looks good except for her weight. When the vet examined her belly, Isis stretched out her neck and wiggled her nose. Silly girl wasn’t sore, she was itchy!

This has been a mixed day with some excellent news! This morning the vet came out to examine Isis again to make sure she is sound. After the routine exam, the vet watched Isis trot in the ring. She’s sound alright. Only a sound horse would try to kick me with her back feet while…

Rajiyyah’s Leg Lookin’ Good!

We’re going to keep her on antibioitics for another five days with continued hydrotheraphy (hosing for 20 minutes) and wrapping while the wound is still…
