Red gets bute today

I called Dr. Sherwood's office today and got Bute for Red - kinda like horse aspirin.  I went out to the barn and gave it to him.  He is still very gimpy and not moving around.  He kind pulls up his leg for me to pick up - like "this is where it hurts".  Sigh.  Poor guy, it is always something.  Pulling shoes, anhydrosis, sore toes, now this.  I want to sit down and boo hoo.
