Today I brought Honey back to the vet for a checkup. It’s been just over a week since we brought her home from the hospital, and she seems to be doing well. She does have hock sores on her feet, so we have to wrap her back feet and put neosporin on the sores to keep them from getting infected. She’s not a big fan of this…but we’ll try to help it heal quickly so it doesn’t become a chronic problem.

Dr. Orr said she’s doing well. We don’t have to give her Baytril (antibiotic) or pain meds anymore, but we still have to give her the fluid injections and Metaclopramide along with force feeding the Critical Care.

Hopefully she’ll start eating hay again soon, but she is doing a good job of eating her veggies. She’s running around more, and seems to be getting better and better. Dr. Orr is happy with her progress. She’ll go back in a couple of weeks so he can evaluate her progress at that point.
