Friday 30th December
My birthday so off to a theatre matinee so asked friend if she could get Fred in for me. Nice matinee and on way back to yard 17:10 when phone goes, it is Al she's just got Fred in as he was still out and was very upset and running about and was lame walking up. Friend totally forgot to get him in.
Get to yard looks like check ligament so ice and give two bute. Not fully weight bearing on it 7/10 lame in walk.
Cancel birthday and leave stack of present unopened as no longer feel much in the mood.
Saturday 31st December
Ring vet she agrees with my planned course of action so two bute twice daily, ice and stand in.
Sunday 1st January
Am I glad to see an end to 2011 as now have two ponies on injured list.
Now loading limb better.
Monday 2nd January
Decide to try field rest *big fat failure* Fred not prepared to rest instead prefers to run on adrenalin.
Tuesday 3rd January
Ask vet to come scan so know what we are dealing with, tear on outside check and general damage. Fibre pattern much denser than C's was post injury. Vet advises box rest and keep bute up until can reduce with no discomfort.
Vet thinks looking at a month of box rest.
Wednesday 4th January
Limb loading looking better still on two bute BID.
Fred seems happy enough standing in with Chorrie for company.
