First aid for horses.
A tip for all horse owners.
If you don't have a first aid kit made up for horses,
you need the following items for leg injuries:
1. Betadine surgical soap.
2. Baby disposable diapers (a couple of sizes)
3. Duct tape or VetWrap.
Cuts to muscle is not usually an emergency. A cut to the lower
leg can be.
Clean the cut with Betadine. Wrap with the diaper. Tape up
with what ever you have. Note: Do not cut off circulation.
Call your Vet!
Believe me, we have experience along these lines.
