He has set the check ligament (RF) back about six weeks LF he has stretched the suspensory.
The above does not seem credible given how much stress he put the leg under yesterday, not entirely sure vet could believe the scans. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the scans.
Yesterday given his antics and the fact the tissue was not yet repaired it didn't seem possible we wouldn't be back to square one.
Yard owner has been beyond wonderful, icing it every hour for me yesterday, they are also going to build him a 6ft high pen so when he can go back out we will not have a repeat.
It has been a roller coaster of emotion this last 36 hours, am still slightly disbelieving that he got off so lightly.
I was sat outside his stable this morning looking at his soft brown eyes and it was a mix of love, adoration and heartache. Now it is just love and adoration.
He is also a charmer as he seems to have trained the vet to hand over some of her biscuit to him too.
So hand graze next two weeks then out in pony prison pen, no EMS on legs until physio has seen on 15th. Increase icing for 96 hours post injury then back to twice daily as from Monday. Decrease bute to one twice daily for weekend then back to one daily.
