Pepper! What have you done to your Knee???

Well, she did up Big time, this time!!! Somehow Pepper managed to fall down in her pen & rip her knee OPEN! So! Off to the Vet she went for stitches!!!!! She received 10 or so stitches & a shunt! She was on 15 SMZ's (antibiotics) 2x's a day for 15 days!!!! The next pic of her knee is NOT for the weak stomached! It's real icky, but that was a week into her recovery, & never fear it is a whole lot better now! Pepper did this around the 3rd week in October!

Yep I told ya, it's GROSS looking!!!! Let's move on!

Linda R. has cleaned Pepper's knee all up, & it hurt some but Pepper was brave & stood still cuz she knows, Linda R. would never hurt her on purpose!!! The cool water on her knee more than likely felt pretty good too. So all that cleaning done, it's now time to wrap her back up!

First the gauze pad w/ medicine too, & now the big cotton wrapping.

There we go! All wrapped up w/ color matching vet wrap too!!!!! Guess we were having a purple kind of day!!!!!

Pepper was so good she got some Cookies!!!!!  The first one she got was from NANCY! Thank YOU Nancy for the fancy fancy treats that your friend makes!

Here's the box of the Gourmet Treats that Nancy sent up for the horses at Safe Haven! They were; Pumpkin & Spice Flavor Pumpkins w/ Sprinkles!!!!! We kept them in the frig in the barn & had to keep telling people, No, you can't have those, they're for the Horse's, they are Treats!!!!!! Well, Pep decided, she needed More Cookies so.......................

Out came the Stud Muffins Treats, that Lisa sent up for the horses!!!!! Thank You Lisa!!!! Sorry the pic is blurry!!! But I don't know how to change it without redoing everything!!!!! "/

Hmmmm......what other Diva at Safe Haven wants a COOKIE????? Yep it's Bonnie's mare Flower!!!!!! She got some too, as how could you say no, to that beautiful face & look at that eye!!!! Awwww.......

OK, we have jumped a few weeks in time & Pepper's knee, has the stitches & the shunt out & needs some air! It looks really good from the first pic we saw! The trouble we have now is; How do we keep Pepper from messin' with it? Well, check out the next pic!!!!

A neck collar!!!!! Needless to say Pepper was NOT impressed with this contraption!!!!!! but it did it's job & the knee got the much needed break from the bandage! Pep had this on for most of the day, but only while people were around to make sure she didn't do something Drastic!!!! Pepper is pretty much all healed up for now!!! She has been moved out of the little confinement pen, & is back in her old pen! She loves the pen she is in now, & so does her sponsor Sondra!!!! We had the babies, Oreo & Cayenne in the pen for awhile, but since they have been adopted, Pepper moved back in!!! Speaking of a Baby being Adopted......If I has some Pictures! I'd gladly do a blog on Who got Whom for her Birthday Present, Nancy!!!! ")  Well bye for now, Linda C.
