Kia was kicked by a horse

[ramanth]

But she's okay. Nothing's broken, no iternal organ damage. Her right hindquarter took the brunt of the hit.


Yesterday evening, my friend had a small Mary Kay party (just me, her, and the Mary Kay lady ) and Shawntell said I could bring Kia over.

So we let Kia run around outside until the MK lady showed up and we brought her inside.

Kia kept wanting to go out, so I'd excuse myself and let her out. The third time she was again out by the barn and out of sight behind the trees. She wasn't coming when I called for her and when I heard her bark/yip, I headed down the deck just as Kia came running up to me, tail wagging happily, tongue out, and doing a happy dance.

Not seeing anything wrong, I didn't worry.

I left her at my parents overnight and Dad called this morning saying Kia was not acting at all like herself. She was slow to go out and she sat on the deck in the rain refusing to come in. When Dad went to pick her up, she cried out and snapped at him.

So Dad met me at the vets and the vet said she can't fully extend the right rear leg outwards.

Kia's on an anti-inflammitory for the next few days. I hope she's learned her lesson.

Poor Kia! I hope she starts feeling better. I had a horse step pn my foot, actually landed on my foot after it had rearred. So, I know how painful that can be!

Kiss to you, Kia!

Oh, poor Kia! Hope she's feeling better soon.

Muskwa did the same thing last fall. Sounds like the same area too. He was stiff and sore for a couple weeks, but he was back to his usual self after that. I think he would still go snack in the horse corral given the opportunity, but the neighbor got a rottie who has no use for Muskwa!

What meds did Kia get? Muskwa got Rimadyl for ten days and Robaxcet for a week. The Robaxcet is a muscle relaxant. It made him much more comfortable. It also made him kinda dopey so keeping him quiet was easier!

Hope she's feeling better soon, getting kicked by a horse must have traumatized the poor girl. Hopefully she DID learn her lesson and won't go near them again. Tell her horses are not toys and she can't scare mommy like that anymore!

Get plenty of rest Kia!

The name escapes me at the moment... it began with a 'd'. Duromaxx, or something like that, I think. It's a pill and she's to get half a pill everyday for 8 days.

Oh Kia you silly girl, should have come when mommy hollered for you
I hope your feeling better soon sweetie (hopefully all better by next weekend!).

[animal_rescue]

Poor girl, listen to your mommy next time!

[cloverfdx]

Oh dear poor Kia , get well soon sweety {{Hugs}}. I hope Kia has learnt a lesson.

Kia, girl, you've got to listen to your mom! I hope you're better very soon. Have you tried masssaging that area? It might help to get the stiffness out when she's a little less sore.

Ouch! Poor baby-- maybe she just wanted to play with her own "my little pony"?
