I actually used a piece of tubing on one of our pasture horses who
was bitten. It worked fine.
I have had two others get bitten, one on the bottom lip and one on
the edge of the nostril. Both could still breathe through both
sides. The swelling is tremendous. All three were put on antibiotics
twice a day and recovered fine. The interesting thing was that non of them
sloughed necrotic tissue as I was afraid they would. Once the swelling
went down you couldn't see any bite marks
left.................mb
