On Monday I went to the barn and brought Biscuit up to rasp his feet. I had planned to go riding with Cherie but after working with Biscuit's hooves and sweating a ton I changed my mind. I did work with Biscuit in the arena and he did a great job.
Tuesday Mike came to the barn to do the horses hooves. Biscuit and Sarge both have a little bit of thrush going on. Got to put Lysol in water and soak their hooves.
Wednesday I hauled the horses to the vet for their regular shots, rabies and Biscuit's Coggins. Cassie said she heard gurgling when I was taking Sarge out of the trailer. Long and short...he has a slight upper respiratory infection. They put a bag over his nose to make him breath deeply. Doc said could be related to allergies. Sarge got medications and a shot in the bum.
Biscuit's no see 'em's around his hooves turned out to be a fungus. He got his feet shaved from his fetlocks down. Spray medication and the pink salve that I already had.
Left the vet $381 poorer.
