An incredibly valuable reminder when it comes to bandaging your horse’s legs, courtesy of the horse doctors at Mid-Rivers Equine Centre.

“Even the slightest wrinkle, fold, or lump in the bandage can cause discomfort for your equine companion. Imagine wearing socks and shoes and the sock has a crease in it. It will be incredibly uncomfortable to walk on.

Improperly applied bandages can not only cause discomfort but also lead to skin irritation and even injury. Be aware of the entire bandage's placement and the padding beneath, ensuring zero wrinkles or bumps. Your horse's leg injury needs the utmost wrapping care and taking the time to ensure a smooth and comfortable bandage application is vital.

APPLYING A BANDAGE
So how exactly can you achieve a flawlessly wrapped bandage? First, start by laying the padding smoothly over the area you intend to wrap. Make sure it's evenly distributed and covers the entirety of your horse's leg. Then, carefully wrap the bandage around the leg, applying gentle pressure as you go. Check frequently for lumps or folds, smoothing them out as you continue wrapping.

Another tip to remember is to avoid wrapping too tightly, which can impede circulation and cause discomfort for your horse. Instead, aim for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring the bandage won't slip or shift during exercise. Once you've finished wrapping, visually inspect the bandage for any irregularities before securing it in place.”

Our final piece of advice: If you have any questions or concerns about bandaging your horse’s leg, be sure to talk to your veterinarian!

Handsome King continues to heal from his impaction surgery, the procedures that left lesions in his esophagus and larynx, and stomach ulcers that were found along the way. He is bright, happy and acting like a normal donkey again. He is in a very regular routine of three different medications given multiple times a day before and after he eats and he is allowed wet mashes only, not even a scrap of hay. He’s still on stall rest and hand grazing and will need to be rescoped in a few weeks to confirm that the small amount of remaining impaction in his stomach, the lesions and his stomach ulcers are all gone and, if so, at that point his meds will be reevaluated.

King was admitted to the hospital to save his life and we are very grateful that the treatments were successful. His total bill was $13,443.37 and we are still in need of funds for the remaining balance. 43 people (thank you!!!) already donated a total of $7,798.85 but we still need $5,644.52. Winter is a particularly expensive time of year for animal rescues and sanctuaries and we would appreciate whatever help is possible. Donations can be sent through this post or through our PayPal or Venmo. If you could help us with the funds to cover this bill, we would appreciate it.

Friendship 💜 Hannah is watching over her best friend, Henrietta. We can learn a lot from animals, but we just have to watch and listen. Henrietta has bad feet due to previous neglect, but that doesn’t matter to her BFF, Hannah. You will always find these two together. A true best friend accepts you for who you are and sticks by you regardless of your circumstances.
