Ow is he ok? Do you know what caused it?

Ow is he ok? Do you know what caused it?

Yes, I am pretty sure he is ok. He didnt mind me monkeying or anything with it, so I dont think it hurts him too bad. I dont know what could have caused it yet. I have to work up some courage to brave the cold weather and see if there is anything in the pasture or barn that could have caused it.

Oh no! I hope you figure out what happened to Austin! Is there any ointment or treatment you can put on the cut?

[luvofallhorses]

Ouch, that looks like it hurt! Did he get caught on something do you think?

[Toby's my baby]

Oh no! I hope you figure out what happened to Austin! Is there any ointment or treatment you can put on the cut?

Yes =

I got out all the hair that was stuck to it, and cleaned it, and put some ointment and spray that the vet gave me on it.

I am guessing he might have got but on some wire somewhere?? Or a screw or bolt sticking out of somewhere. I have yet to find anything, I'll have to look again in the morning, its almost dark out now, and it's only 4:50

[Jessika]

Well it looks like a healthy cut, so I don't think you have anything left to worry about except sit back and let it heal!

[Mutt_Maniac]

It might have been the wire that was hanging of the fence post that I picked up...We'll have to look in the barn tom. its WAY to dark to see noww...

*srry if i confused you all, this is her sister...*

It is about 3-4 inches long yesterday when I looked at it, it had a nice scab over it.
Here is a picture of about where it is, I couldnt find a picture of his left side. .
