Thanks Macchi

While we waited to hear back from the vet, Macchi very sweetly (i.e. bribed with grain) allowed me to flush the wound, add some terramycin to the eye and the cut, and to put a bandage on the cut to keep it clean. Since I wanted tape that wouldn’t pull on the wound as he moved the muscles in has face (the skin around the wound was pulling it open with each eye blink and each grab of grain/hay), I used KT.

For my birthday, Macchi got me an appointment with the vet and some education on equine eye stitches over the eye area.

Macchi needed one stitch in the muscle layer and then a few stitches for the skin.
