Broken Tail

[Nanno]

He should be fine. Just keep an eye on it. My guess is the mule probably got it, or maybe someone stepped on it when he was laying down. Either way there's not much you can do. I don't think a vet would recommend splinting it--it would be too hard to keep a splint in place. I'm sure he'll be fine while you're gone today. If you're worried you could give him some banamine or bute to help with pain, but it's probably not necessary.
