Hi all!
We found out last week that my horse has a tear in his DDFT after he had an MRI Scan, I am absolutly gutted. I am still unsure of how big the tear is as I havent had the Vet Report back yet. They have put on Egg bars on the front to give him support of the heel. I have never had any experiance with anything like this so I am just looking to see what experiances people have had with this.
The vet has told me it will be 6-12 month rest and only a 25% chance of recovery He is on box rest for a month then vet will be out to asess him then maybe he can go out for half hour a day to keep him happy.
So what I am asking if anybody has had either good or bad experiance with this and if you have any tips or treatment methods to try and help the healing. I know time is a healer but would like to try everything I can to help my little man!
