Update on the Grey Wonder Mare

Rajiyyah’s leg is looking much better! We stopped wrapping it on Sunday evening. Monday night it was still swollen and the cut looked kinda nasty — caked with blood and pieces of shavings. However, after 20 minutes of hosing to reduce swelling and get the gunk off of it, there was a pleasant surprise: the wound has made major progress in healing. The sides are coming together and it’s healing really well. Almost twice as much healing in one day as two days of having her leg wrapped.

    I’m on a mailing list for owners of horses who are insulin resistant and/or have Cushings. These can be very serious conditions for horses if left untreated. These metabolic conditions can not be cured, only managed. Isis has insulin resistance and so far we’ve kept her well managed. We have been lucky. She had two…
