Charm is doing alright. :aktion033:
The girls were sooooooo happy to see him home! taken when he first came home from hospital.
To refresh your memory, or to those that didn't catch my other post: Tuesday night my 8 month old Charm stuck his face through the bars of his stall, and when he pulled back, it broke his jaw. the next day, we took him to the hospital to get face surgery and BRACES!!!! the surgery went great, the braces are keeping his face straight now. but it was definatley a scary thing to have to go through, for me AND charm!
Well, even though he's physically fine, he really doesn't like the metal mouth! He opens his mouth a lot, and scratches his face more often. not to mention, the shaved spot where the needle was for surgery is pretty itchy. he doesn't quite finish all of his food, but he is eating alright. i dont blame him, i just had dental work today, and all i feel like eating is applesauce! Speaking of which, charm is beginning to resent applesauce.
: twice a day, i have to give him a crushed antibiotic pill mixed in with applesauce, orally through a siringe. :smileypuke: happy pony he is when he sees his halter coming these days!
:
His jaw looks to be healing fine, and so far no broken wires in the braces. Whew. it looks like his face will be back to normal, if we manage to keep them on as long as we should!
see, compare this one, showing his face in line, to the one i took the night he broke his jaw. (ill give link only, its kinda nasty)

pills in the morning and night, daily inspecting of wires, only supervised turn out time, having to chicken wire up his stall bars so no more incidents....jeez are we almost done! WHAT? it's only been two days? UGGHHHH.
:
well thank you all for your support through this! thanks to your prayers, he'll be fine. not happy right now, but better. This will be a tough 10 weeks for the both of us, so bear with me here!
:'s for recovery are still welcomed and appreciated, THANK YOU!
