Hack from the Manufacturer for Felicitous Foot Care

Awareness of the outside world. European Society of Cardiology: Beta-blockers did not reduce cardiovascular events in selected heart attack patients in the REBOOT trial, 30 Aug 2025. Biological sex affects medical results. Imagine that. OTOH Beta-Blockers still work before. ESC: Beta-blockers reduced cardiovascular events in selected heart attack patients without heart failure in the BETAMI-DANBLOCK trials. 30 Aug 2025

A small thing to make our lives slightly easier.

Milton’s abscess has healed to the point of soundness and waiting for the hole on the bottom of his sole to fill in. We all know how fast horse hoof grows. To keep the area clean, his hoof gets wrapped with a baby diaper, stretch bandage, & duct tape.

This is our most recent roll of flex bandage.

First, peep the pink and the flamingos. If you need this product, something has probably gone wrong, You might as well have fun with it.

Second, check out the small black square-ish bit near the top. This is a piece of material than lies under the start of the roll, both marking the beginning of the roll and making the roll easier to start. I hereby decree this should be a feature on all rolled products in all applications.

I’m assuming these, TSC: SyrFlex Cohesive Horse Bandage, Flamingo. Inside of tube says Neogen & Ideal Instruments, but flamingos are not an option on their website.

Onwards!

  1. It’s like adults wearing the “designer” bandages (Band-aid) type they make for kids. Except now Band-aid brand is marketing them with pictures from artworks. As you said, might as well have fun with it. Glad to hear Milton is OK. I was so lucky with Priney and Chief, simple when it came to footwear. And after I found out Chief came to Nancy barefoot and she had shoes put on, I left him barefoot the rest of his life. A horse who can be a field hunter without needing shoes has tough feet.
