[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 586622, member: 6496"] WOW! What a terrible injury, but you did a fantastic job getting it all healed up and it looks like your horse isn't worse for wear! We had a yearling stallion this summer get his head under a fence and when he freaked and pulled back, it tore his jaw open from his ear down his jowl almost to his mouth. We've never had an injury that bad before! The vet was able to stick his entire hand in there and clean it out really well before putting in 17 stitches. He stitched from each end and when he had one stitch in the middle left, he put a bottle nozzle in there and flushed it out with an antibiotic solution. It never got infected and you could hardly tell he had a cut that large. I could see his tendons and his jaw bone when it was open. Too bad he died of a different accident but that's another story.
