Hi,
I wondered if anyone has had any dealings with this op? My horse had this done 2 weeks ago and wondered if anyone had any success stories on this procedure.
She had severe laminits in both front feet nearly 3 years ago. She recovered really well and was doing well till the beginning of the year when she started to rest one foot on top of the other. Then started crossing them completely. Anyway to cut a long story short after x rays on feet and legs and scans it was decided the bilateral tenotomy was the only thing left. (Nothing showed up on any of the tests). Her tendons were very tight and once inside it was found her ddft and sft had attached to each other with fiberous tissue. The vets had not seen anything like it before (glasgow and inverness vets). Nor had they seen her peculiar stance, legs crossed. She is back home and the thinking was there would be some relief within a week. I feel she is pretty much as she was before the op.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. I can't find much about it on the internet. Plenty about cutting of check ligament but not about cutting the ddft.
Thanks
