On May 1, 2016 Cruiser got hurt. We were out to Malta helping my dad move cows and I had put him and Drifter in a corral together. we decided to go up to Almo and go soaking. When we got back I went out and checked on the horses and cruiser had some how cut his leg.
We called the vet and he came out and stitched him up for us. For the next week we kept doctoring cruiser. His cut was looking really good, but about 8 days after he cut it open, the cut wasn't looking so good.
We hauled him up to Clarks and they kept him for 3 almost 4 weeks. Cruiser had a really bad infection that they couldn't get under control. Cruiser also had some damage to his tendon! The Vet finally got the infection under control. They decided not to do surgery on the tendon. We are doing a rubber band treatment on him. Cruiser has a hook in his hoof that we take a rubber band though the hook and keep it tight while we pull it up to his knee, and then we wrap it. Cruiser will have to have this wrapped with the rubber band for the next 3-4 months. He still has a long road in head of him, but we are counting down the days!
