Just walked down into the pasture to take a little grain to my injured boll. He loves it so this is a treat for him.
He has been laying down with his injured leg (right front) out straight since the first morning, eight days ago now. Tonight, he had the leg curled back underneath his body. Well, it is not exactly under him. It's folded up beside hime.
I also noticed he will lay over on his side, which even though that is a bit unnerving, he raises right up when you talk to him. And when I delivered him his grain, he was all alert and up.
I can only assume he lays over to take pressure off that leg, bug at least he is folding it now.
It still points to a severe sprain, twist, or pull of a joint to muscle. But he went to hay this morning with the cows. And that is a first.
So, bottom line, I am seeing changes which I interpret as improvements.
