Yup, it's an antibiotic. People can actually use it too if you get the correct dosage from your doctor. Which will be helpful with the bloody big bottle that I have of it.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-87784361321491781132010-02-03T21:21:45.312-05:002010-02-03T21:21:45.312-05:00I bet you were worried!

I went home after work and dug out the epsom salts before I went to the barn. I washed her leg off and couldn't find a spot of blood or a raw mark anywhere. I have no idea where the infection came from but the SMZs should knock it out. It made for a rough day worrying about her.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-41196116254948119412010-02-03T15:17:11.407-05:002010-02-03T15:17:11.407-05:00Oh, dear.

Gem had a couple of open bloody scrapes from pacing in his stall and rubbing his back legs on the walls over and over when he first arrived. I cleaned them and soaked the wounds with salt water and the applied a little antibiotic cream. Worked like a charm. I've also heard you can keep gauze on a wound with panty hose - just cut the tops and feet off and put your horse leg through. It applies just enough pressure to hold the gauze in place without cutting off circulation/tissue damage. Geez, I hope Gwen feels better soon!Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.com
