One thing we do as a sanctuary is night checks.
Although we check everyone during feedings and during the day as we can, night checks is when everyone is all settled in and sleeping where we can really look them over thoroughly.
We check for scrapes, bruises, wounds, hoof cracks, eye issues, bumps, and anything else that seems off, and also note any new issues we see in case they come up later, and update current notes.
Doing this is super important for preventative care, because catching things early means treating things early! There are some issues we can't see that don't show until it's too late, but this is just one thing we do on top of other precautions that help us help them as best as we can.
