Raven went into foster care on June 5th with Dolly Gibbons and on July 5th managed to get a nasty cut on her back foot. She is being treated by Dr. Stewart from Gulf Coast Equine Hospital in Summerdale, AL. Since Raven wasn't the best candidate to have her foot wrapped daily, he put a foot cast on her to aid in healing and also make aftercare virtually maintenance free. Raven must remain stalled, however, to keep the cast dry and sand out, but can be hand walked daily. Today Linda Lambert and I accompanied Dolly to take Raven in for a recheck. Raven will stay overnight to have her cast removed and they will see how she behaves for wrapping. If she is manageable, they will leave the cast off. While we were there, Dianna, took us on a tour of the new clinic. It was very impressive! We appreciate Dolly and Dr. Stewart for taking such good care of Raven.
