@@paulbrown1585 U would not believe the owners that once an animal is of no use they will just turn them out 2 the field & not look back. A lot of cruel people in this world!
Many thanks for the treatment to this horse who maybe old, but still has years of life to live! Also i think its great how you explain the treatment of the wounds. Some1 down the road may run into this situation with their horse and because of this video they will remember how to treat the wound. Many thanks to Renaldo for a superb job as always! 😊
We are all sensitive to pain it's not a very good feeling but this guy knows exactly what he's doing and I'm so happy that he's making this poor horse feel so much better and heal faster❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful senior horse. How could someone let him get like that? It hurts to look at. He deserves to be comfortable. It is difficult to trim senior horses because you have to hold them low and trim with one hand.
This is a beautiful horse who was probably either tethered by his fetlocks or left standing in manure or mud, to get a prolonged infection in cracked skin like this. Malnourished also. I hope he is ok now and being looked after well, because he can still have many good years ahead of him, if well treated. He behaved very well. Thank you.
May you have many many blessings in your life, you are such a lovely human being ,thank you so very much for all the love and devotion too those beautiful animals❤
You wonderful people really care about animals. And I'm so glad you do. My heart breaks everytime I view an animal in distress. God has you all on a good mission. Thank you for caring about the animals.
I’m so thankful to The Creator for still having this loving compassionate souls here in a realm where there’s other evil ones that hurt, neglect or torture the beautiful creatures that inhabit this planet . Thank you so much for your kindness to this wonderful animals ❤
At first glance it looks like rope burn, but it most likely is cellulitis. The genatain violet spray and iodine scrub will clear it up. Important to keep it dry. we call this condition scratches
Aawww, poor elderly gent is really hurting!! He's going to feel much better now and is thrilled I'm sure, to get some attention and treatment. Thank you for excellent job and careful treatment taking into consideration not only injury, but his age. Beautiful senior citizen! 😁❤
Older horses need their teeth floated regularly. When they have those sharp points on their teeth, feed will fall out of their mouth & they can't chew feed properly. It will cause their wt 2 fall off. Horses R a lot of work! And 💰 2 keep if U R 2 do it properly! If U do not have the means 2 take care of a horse people, please do not get one. The same with dogs! Or any animals. If U can't afford them, do not get them!!! According 2 the Bible we R supposed 2 B good husbandmen!!! Owner's!!!
It looks like this horse was hobbled. Straps around the hoof, connecting two feet together. It's a common therapy for animals recovering from doing the splits.
@@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim No I’m Irish! I don’t see where a person comes from has anything to do with my comment? The horse has a poor body condition end of!
A warm soaking with chamomile would be wonderful too. In addition it will soften the debris enough to gauze over the area and moisturize, healing the skin. ❤🐎
He described it as chilblains. Which is a human thing but kind of describes it. I believe it is Pastern dermatitis {dermatitis just means skin infection or disease (disease-disorder of function or structure)} has multiple causes, but microbial infection is the most common. Several strains of bacteria are associated with the conditions, including Dermatophilus congolensis. Other infectious causes of pastern dermatitis include soil-borne fungi and parasites. Parasitic mites associated with pastern dermatitis damage the skin and allow pathogenic microorganisms to enter. It can be caused by anything, like urine scalds, parasites, bacteria, fungus, whatever starts it bacteria or fungi can move in and cause it to destroy the skin like his. Getting rid of the scabs allow the iodine betadine) which is an antiseptic and anti fungal to clean and promote healing. Getting rid of the scabs allows the skin to bend and not reopen with each movement.
That looks like a common fungal infection that occurs mostly in areas with high humidity or horses that are washed on a regular basis. Here it’s called scratches. It’s a nasty fungus and it can go from barely noticeable to this horse’s level in just a few days. If that’s what it is, it’s a tough skin problem that for some horses never goes completely away.
In the UK it is called cracked heels. It occurs in damp conditions, and also as the result of midge bites. Some horses are particularly prone due to an allergic reaction. An old fashioned remedy is a mixture of sulphur and lanolin, or white Paraffin lotion. The important part is to keep the horses heels clean and dry and well moisturised with the antiseptic ointment. So not so different from this chaps treatment. It is not just a problem in old gorses, more common in young ones.
@@juliadove1006 in the 80’s I worked at an Arabian show barn. Where horses lived in a humid environment and were hosed down or bathed almost daily. We had horses prone to it, mostly the ones with whit socks. The pink skin was especially prone. I don’t remember what we used, although ichthammol comes to mind. Whatever it was didn’t do enough. Our veterinarian came up with a cure that would have things cleared up in a few days. In recent times, chlorhexidine was used at another barn I worked at with great success. When I was in Pony Club, also in the 80’s (LOL) I was exposed to scratches being called cracked heals. In some places the two are interchangeable.
We call this condition "scratches" in the US. It affects light skinned horses the most and the wet grass makes it difficult to dry and heal after treatment. Good job!
I can understand the pain of very dry scab's on a wound. Both my arm's are recovering, and the pain from them digging in is excruciating!! The only thing to do was to remove them and moisturise. They also made it harder to move, my dressings are changed every other day and I get to pick a hard scab haha Sending love to your horse, I feel your pain xxx
To bad the horse had to suffer by neglect. Whrn the sore is cleaned and starts to heal just put on some calendulasalve with lavender essential oil in it. The wound will heal quickly...
