Bad news
Monday we had to get Vigri, son of Vaka and Vökull, and bring him to the animalhospital in Húsavík as he injured his leg stepping into a hole (at least we think so). He got quite a big wound, but didn't hurt anything important in his leg. He was put in a hospitalbox in Saltvík and has to stay there at least for the next 2 weeks.
We thought it would be the one and only ambulancetransport. Well, we got a phonecall on Thursdaymorning, that one of the young horses in the fence next to the road was lame, just walking on 3 legs. Tommi had a closer look for us and unfortunately it was Embla.
When we came to check her out, she could barely walk, hopping on 3 legs when she wanted to go faster. We saw that she could use the leg and stand on it, but walking was difficult. Vignir the vet had a look at her and recommended to take X-rays as such a lamness is usually cause by a fraction of the bone. Not so good news for us and we were really upset and in sorrow about Embla.
Friday morning we had the next ambulancetransport to the animalhospital. This time Embla going for her X-rays. She was really calm and well behaved, being away from her mum for the first time. Vignir prepared himself very well for the shots, showing us in his books what kind of X-ray he wants to take and instructing us how to hold the leg and so on. After shooting he went to the local hospital to let them develop the pics for him. We were waiting quite nervously for his return. Only Embla was relaxed and had a closer look at the X-ray machine.
Then it was for sure, there was a fraction in Embla's leg, but not as bad as we had feared. The upper arm bone is splittered at the end, close to the ellbow, probably after a kick from another horse. The young lady has to stay inside the next 4-8 weeks, not allowed to move too much. That's not exactly how she thinks about it, but necessary. So please keep your fingers crossed together with us that everything will grow together neathly!
