Kia was kicked by a horse

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.
