Surprise!

When I arrived at the barn this morning I knew something was wrong with Phoenix because she continued to lay on the ground despite hearing the grain scooping. When I was able to get her up, she was favoring her right hind leg, and her hoof was bleeding.

So what was meant to be a quick milking trip turned into an epsom salt bath foot soak (read: Me body-pinning a 160 lb goat and wrestling her foot into the soak bucket) and then digging through all my tack room crap to find my bandages. I have no idea if my intervention will help, but please, please let me have a vet bill break for a month.

I will be going right after work to soak her foot again. I sure wish someone would wrestle me into an epsom salt bath.
