Pictures of Blaze's wound from rolling down a hill onto a rock on Tuesday morning! He loves to roll on steep ground and slide down headfirst while wriggling and flipping back and forth! It's quite a sight that I've meant to video. Maybe this wound will cure him of that fun activity though!
I feel fortunate that I saw the injury a very short time after he did it and got him to a good vet. Dr. Richardson in Colville sedated Blaze and pulled the flap back to reveal a deep puncture wound! After flushing and suturing the inner part, he laid the flap back and sewed it all up. He said it should heal up just fine. Blaze is happy and enjoying his stall and the accompanying attention. It's been two days since the injury and the site looks as good as in the "after" picture.
