Equine, your posts about your horses swollen leg reminds me of Knight a leopard appy at Camp.

When we brought the herd in one morning, Greg noticed that Knight's front left leg was completely covered in blood. He took him out of the corral to find that Knight impailed himself on something out in the field. Right away Greg called the equine vet and he came down to the corral to check out Knight. He cleaned up the wound and gave him the "lockjaw" shot. Over the next two weeks or so- it was Madi's (my friend) and I job to flush out the wound and clean it out every morning and night. What fun! We had to take a washcloth soaked in steaming hot water and press in over the hole. A couple of minutes later puss and small pieces of bark would come ooozing out of the wound. Then we had to flush it out with Idoine (I think that's what it was...having a brainfart!), and cover the leg in Vasolene. OI! The poor boy- his leg was extremely swollen, he could barely walk. After a while the swelling went away and the wound eventually healed. I have a picture somewhere of Knight getting is wound flushed out, maybe later I'll dig it up.
