Packing Conquistador’s Hoof

Here are some photos of what I am doing with Con’s hoof in effort to get him to heal..

Step 1-soak his foot in Epsom salt and water mixture for as long as he can stand it. Today he stood in it for nearly an hour as I groomed him and played with him..

Step 2- dry the foot really well and then pack the hole, that the vet dug to pop his abscess, with a sugar betadine  mixture.

Step 3- use vet wrap and wrap a baby diaper (size 1) on his foot.

Step 4- duct tape that diaper on there

Oh, and a Q fior the goat friends… Is Jamie Lynn really due this month?? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetling/sets/72157607348058906/ See that link..
