On Saturday, Dakota came up lame. The vet came out Sunday AM and immediately (and easily) found an abscess on her hoof. She will be fine, and is already feeling better, but it's been hard on us both. She has had to stay indoors in a stall, and does not like it one bit! She's been outdoors her whole life, so being cooped up all day is not making her at all happy! For me, it's taken away the most fun part of my life here in Ashland. My two hours with Dakota is taken up with making duct-tape boots and getting Dakota to stand still long enough to put it on. I hope her abscess heals quickly and she never, ever gets another one!
Of course I am grateful it is something simple to treat and not one of the horrible things that ran through my mind when she first came up lame!!
