My horse has a nasal fracture. How can I keep her comfortable now?

Question

Yesterday there was a accident with my horse and she has a nasal fracture the vet will see her today but I was wondering if there was anything I could do to keep her comfortable in the mean time? Pet's info: Farm Animal | Horse | Female | 15 years and 11 months old | 1300 lbs

Oh on, poor Bug! I would keep her in a stall until the vet comes out today so she is quiet and rested. If you don't have a stall, keep her in a small paddock so she doesn't move around as much. Remove anything in the stall or paddock that she could hit her nose on and cause her more pain. Unfortunately, it'll illegal for me to recommend giving her any pain medications because I can't see her in person, but you can give your vet a call back to see if there are any pain medications they can recommend you give her.
