[QUOTE="maesy, post: 695059, member: 5743"] someone just gave a us a new horse about a week ago and we noticed a little limp a day or so ago. I've had horses for dang near all my life and NEVER have had any medical problems. her legs aren't swollen or hot. it's her front right. when I cleaned her foot there was a some slight green/brown drainage in between the hoof wall. I don't know how to describe her limp, it more like tip-toeing or just slight favoring. I picked it out and brushed the dirt away with a wire brush and poured iodine on the spot that oozed. I think I am going to do the iodine and epsom salt pastey thing in a diaper wrapped with duck tape (per DVM and some neighbors)....the vet said to do that but I don't know how often I should change dressings and what signs I'd be looking for either improvement or worsening....and I am open to any and all suggestions!
