Hi guys,
My 16.3 ID mare has had 5/6 months off with a check ligament strain. I rode her on Sunday to see how she was doin (has been field sound for a while) and she was fine. Anyway i'm taking her back up to the vets today to have it rescanned. What I am wondering is, is there any type of injection etc that they can put into the ligament to help with its healing etc if the scan comes up to say its still not quite right?
Sorry for sounding a bit thick but ive never in my 30 odd years of horses had a horse with a tendon/ligament injury so I dont know much about them or their treatment.
Just to add all the treatment the mare has had is the initial scan, 2 weeks box rest, turned out in a small paddock for a couple more weeks then back out with the herd and turned away.
Many thanks for your help.
Luv Jayne xx
