What did you do today?

[Nanno]

I'm sorry you guys have had so much animal trouble! Facial wounds bleed a LOT, but are usually not too serious. It may be too late to stitch. I've had excellent results using Wonder Dust. It dries and disinfects the wound. I puff it in twice/day until the thing scabs over. Pepperjack cut his face last spring when my mom and I were in Bandera. From the amount of blood on his neck, chest, legs, and pooling on the ground you'd think someone had gone at him with a chainsaw! But it was just this tiny, shallow prick about 1/2 inch long where the two veins meet just above the cheekbone. It took 45 minutes to stop the bleeding. Then he rubbed his face on his knee 10 minutes later and it started right up again. It took almost half an hour to stop it the second time. At that point I hosed him off real quick, threw the saddle and bridle on and said, "Let's ride before he itches this darn thing open again!"

Best of luck healing humans and animals! I hope you get a breathing spell for a while!
