I managed to pick out his feet a bit, though not completely. He wasn't big on holding any of them up for very long, but I got out the rocks and mud. There are rocks and mud in the back of his paddock so he'll probably have more in his feet tomorrow.
He is trying to push down his paddock bars. He puts most of his weight on them and just SHOVES. It doesn't look like he's itching himself either, it really seems like he's trying to push them down so he can get out. Argh.
We took a little walk, and he wanted to go way faster than I would let him. He took his antibiotics. He got brushed. He got fed. He got petted and ointmented. His leg does not appear to be swelling up. I think maybe he'll be okay.
This might be especially amusing to you non-Americans out there-
This is what ambled up to me while I sat with Solomon today.
Yes, they really are huge. Huge huge HUGE!
And not very good at the whole "survival instinct" thing either, truth be told. But they're awfully pretty if you don't mind their bald blue and red heads. Iridescent green and iridescent violet/red, as well as some stripes!
There was a point where I looked over and saw turkeys, ravens, and deer all at the same time. I love it out at the barn. Just wish Solly was all healed up and free again.

Evergrey, I love the Turkey photos, we have them here, I occasionally have one in the yard. My Lhasa dog hates them and barks like crazy, the Turkey ignores her. he is larger! Anyway, once again, good thoughts for you both, J.
Hehe thank you. :) We're doing well!
Someone on my livejournal got very upset about the turkeys being near the horses, but the vet said that it's fine, and they hang out with her horses too.
