Foal Chewing Wound
Diane was kind enough to get back to us and thank everyone for their suggestions.
Lynn – thanks for putting my request on the website. Many useful suggestions. We
are using Cut Heal spray – he doesn’t like the taste of it – with hydrotherapy twice a
day. We have made an apron with legs (out of blue jeans) that we put on after washing.
It is heauy enough for now to be working. Again thank everyone for their help.

I need help with a month old foal that got cut up in barbed wire a few days ago. It is across the chest & shoulder, the vet sewed it up, but it has broke open. He wants to chew at himself. We put on old shirt on him to cover it & keep clean. Hydrotherapy & spray are helping. How can we stop him from chewing ??? Help
