Our horse is at a local boarding stable, and he's usually out in the pasture in the night, and in during the day, since its been so hot. Well, a couple nights ago, there was a rain storm with some thunder, and he got spooked, and apparently took off full speed running and hit his head on a tree branch, and was nearly scapled!! He has about a 6 inch gash accross his head, not to mention a fractured skull, there were bone fragments in the wound, but the vet thinks he got them all..... Today, the sedation is completely worn off, he is eating, his wound is draining well, he pretty much acts like himself, but, we noticed he has no sight in one eye.....Could this be temporary?
Has anyone ever experienced this type of thing with their horse, and what was the out come???
Answers from only experienced horse owners please...
