I guess that puts us in the departure lounge!

We always have fly problems and I recently had a mare lose most of the 
the skin and the top half inch of her left ear when she foolishly 
leaned too close to another mare with a new foal in a neighbouring 
paddock. It looked horrendous, but as I told the boys, "Horses don't 
walk on their ears, after all".  We washed it with a mild cleanser and 
then smeared A&D ointment and some nice pink Swat on the ear. Dory was 
entirely unappreciative of our efforts initially, but she soon relaxed 
to allow the smearing. It healed beautifully in about a month and now 
you can only tell that one is a tiny bit shorter than the other.  My 
preference is to do the absolute minimum.
