at some point in time the boys were rough housing and I *think* that Milo's horn got Sax during one of their many pushing/butting matches. beloved called me over to their pen yesterday to show me and at the time I tried to get a picture, but getting a picture that of a goat that IS NOT blurry is like trying to get a picture of my daughter sitting still...it just doesn't happen.
fortunately for me, when I went out this afternoon to check their water and the rest of the critters on the farm, I was able to reapply my own blend of essential oils and get a picture.
the blend itself isn't much...just a few drops of lavender and frankincense mixed with a carrier oil...
(obviously this label was from an earlier batch, I did not use olive oil this time around but grapeseed oil)
so for those that want to know I think the recipe is something like this...
2-3 drops of lavender
2-3 drops of frankincense
2 T grapeseed oil (though any carrier oil would work I assume, even olive oil, which I have used before with great results)
1oz glass amber bottle with dropper
I measured the carrier oil in first and then added the essential oils. I am not real big on exact measurements, especially when I am just throwing things together, so if you put in an extra drop or leave an extra drop out, no biggie.
I put a drop on my finger and apply it that way since he like to move so much. I apply it at least once a day.
I got the bottles/droppers here and my carrier and essential oils here. I have used YL essential oils also with great results.
oh I almost forgot...this picture is of Sax after his second application (day two). I know you can't tell, but his battle wound already looks better as compared to yesterday.
anyhow, I will keep you updated on Sax's progress but until then...
peace and love to you all!
