Margaret went to the barn with me at 3:30. Red was standing in the arena with his head over the fence like he was waiting for me. God love him...he got lots of sugars from me. We took him into the main barn and put his foot in a bucket of warm water. Margaret gave him his antibiotics while I made his hoof boot. The abscess is right under where his shoe was but it still hasn't come out. I dried his hoof and we put the black icky stuff on it and then the duct tape boot.
I walked him back to the stall. He stumbled a few times on the funky boot but he did ok. I gave him his grain and a flake of alfalfa and Tifton. Edgar had put bahaia in there but I don't think Red will eat it. He didn't eat it this morning.
