hellyer189 93 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Was walking my dogs through a field the other day where we bush and some cows had escaped through a broken fence, anyway cut a long story short he took a boot coming out a bush, his chest is purple and is in some discomfort, he's off his food and puked last night. There is nO blood or any cuts he isn't bleeding from the mouth so I guess it's just bruising anything else to look for? 1 Quote Link to post

OldNog 432 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Mine took a kick to the head from a horse 2 years ago. Knocked her out cold and it was f*****g terrifying. She come round after a few mins and after an hour of feeling sorry for herself she was back to her usual self. she was very sore for a couple of days though. Just keep an eye on him and if something dont seem right get it checked out 1 Quote Link to post
