I think Dani got kicked or rolled on it wrong or...who knows? When I removed the bandage last time, she was way ouchy. Not just looking back "what are you doing again?" ouchy, but pulled away and left the scene. I've been changing and checking while she's eating. I don't tie her and we have a little bonding time while I check her leg and she eats.
She actually left her food to walk away from me. Leg hurts.
It looks like, perhaps, a bruise. A kick, a stumble, we'll never know. I gave her a line of bute (sounds a bit like she's got a habit there) and left the wrap off for awhile so the bute could do it's magic.
When I came back it was puffy, puffy, puffy. Cold hosed and she stood well for that. I thought she'd be dancing all over, but apparently the bute worked. I had to leave her again so her leg could dry and then rewrapped as per 2 months ago.
Today, swelling is down. Leg looks good.
I had taken the camera out to get photos when I noticed the pain, so needless to say, was a bit distracted and didn't take any pictures.
