My almost 2 yr old gelding had to have a

large piece of his hoof removed at the heel,

exposing part of the coronary band.    It was

quite cold today but am not sure how he managed

to hurt himself.

 

My question is am I better to try and wrap the foot

or put a poultice boot on the foot?   I have to keep

the foot covered until the exposed has healed in order

to avoid infection.    Also are there any long term effects

from this type of injury?
