Went out to do chores this AM. Uh-oh horse out! Uh-oh, 11" long gash on R shoulder!
Told the daughter (her horses) and she was debating calling a vet in. ~$500!
Since I was a medic in the Army in the dawn of the 70's I thought we should handle it.
The gash only broke the hide and negligibly the muscle.
Got out the super glue (thick viscosity) and started gluing an inch at a time and applying accelerant.
Of course this was all after we cleaned the wound and applied salve. Taped it up, put on a shoulder pad
quick shot of penicillin and all was fine.
Daughter took some photos before/after and is pleased! I gotta have her show me how to
get them off her phone and onto my PC cuz I know--no pics, never happened.:confused:
Now I'm a real "Vet" in more than one way??
