Get well soon J.B

J.B was taken in from the field today to see the physiotherapist and it was noticed that he had a large, very nasty cut on his off front fetlock.

J.B's sore foot

It is very deep and infected. Fiona helped Michele poultice it up, to draw out the infection, and he will be on box rest for at least a week. Poor J.B, he is very accident prone. It is a mystery how he managed to injure himself. Fiona went through the field but couldn't find any wire or sharp implements that might have done the damage. I have a sneaky suspicion that the disturbance in the herd (because of Humphries) might have caused it.

Michele says J.B likes to get his holiday every May and December, because that is when he either develops back or hoof problems. I wish he would think up less painful ways to get some time off. Poor Michele has to go over twice a day to muck out and see to him in the stable. It is a lot of work to do and hold down a full time job. He will be on box rest for at least a week. I hope he gets better quickly.
