Three poorly legs :-(

So has the vet out to scan three *sigh* injured front legs this morning.

Fred


One month post injury (30th December) looking OK, can start walking out in hand as a pre cursor to pen turnout in seven to ten days. Basically need to see how injury reacts to increased 'stress'

Chorister


Right leg Check ligament injured 5th May; reinjured 4th August.
Left leg Suspensory injured 4th August; check ligament goes in stable 14th September.

So externally right leg you can barely tell now it has been injured, you'd need eagle eyes and need to be looking closely. Check looking good sufficiently good that you'd start trotting on it if it was the *only* injured leg.

Left leg externally check injury visible. Internally suspensory looking 'ok/normal' given his age, left check making progress but will of course always lag behind right leg.

Vet thinks by end of Feb he could be doing 35/40 minutes in hand, will be interesting to see if that fits with my physio's program.

Did talk to vet about the fact we/I have no idea if he is even sound as haven't trotted him up; her view is that soundness at the moment is no indication of anything and that the proof of pudding will be if it stands up to work.

Which is a bit hmm

Other Stuff

Chatted as to where she'd send a PSD for op; seems her experience is op often not needed but would be Bathe as he was pioneer of op and does a neat decent job.

Fracture of the radius in vet's opinion if you can get two weeks post fracture you over the worst, seems horribly common as she currently has two.
