My youngster bruised her sole on stone 11 days ago
Over night she went seriously lame - so I had the vet out, who put her on some bute and a short course of antibiotics to prevent any infection occurring
My youngster is coming to the end of her course of bute, but she is still lame although not as bad as she was (IMO she has gone from being a 5 to being a 2)
I have been giving her arnica to help with the brusing
I have called my farrier to see if he will come out and have a look at her, but am waiting for a reply at the moment! As she had just recovered from an abscess in her hind limb - so I am wondering if the bruised sole may have become slightly infected (although shouldn't have really with the antibiotics - but you never know!)
In peoples experiences how long have bruised sole taken to heal???
Any other advice would be appreciated!
