| Looking for suggestions or tricks to heal this up ASAP. I found her this morning and about passed out when I saw her legs, until I got closer and realized she just skun the hair off! Poor girl is pretty sore and swollen so lots of cold hosing and 2g of bute so far. I imagine it'll take a few days or so before she's no longer sore, but obviously much longer for the hair to grow back. Looking for tricks to get her hair growing back.
ETA no breaks in the skin

That's what I was thinking. . . I don't want to know what it would've looked like if the gate she got caught in didn't have round pipes. |

| Wow! how did that happen? you are "lucky," though its still an injury. Im sorry. :(
My fix all concoction for everything is to apply vetericyn and then alu-shield over the top. It works for me.

| It appears she laid down and got her legs stuck in a gate. Found lots of hair by said gate, along with some green paint on her legs. Just a freak deal - Thank God it wasn't worse because it surely could've been a disaster.

I second the alushield! or any aluminum bandage spray, great stuff! I would use preparation H on it and then cover with the AluSpray.

          Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | My 4 year old did that in a round pen panel in early august except she did more damage than just hide missing. I'll have to take some pics--except for a lingering knot on her cannon bone, you can't tell it ever happened. I used Vetricyn and Sore No More poultice on her scrapes.

| Furison, LA 200, DMSO and Vitamin E mixed in equal parts. It has to stay in a cool dark place and is only good for a couple days after it is mixed but it is amazing! I had a bucking horse get down in the trailer once and flayed her knee open. Because of where it was it couldn't be stitched but we used that concoction and she was back to bucking in 2 months. You couldn't even tell where the injury was! |

        Location: CTX | I would use stressline. Love that stuff, use it on myself too.... Or if not available, vetricyn. And I also use udder creme to keep the skin from cracking. |
