Good news from the vet

[LaurenBay]

Vet came today, it's been exactly 3 weeks since she had the steriod injections into her stifle. He was pleased with her progress and doesn't want to inject again. He said she is still not 100%, but is sure that is due to mucsles. So pysio will be out shortly. In the meantime, he said I have to do excercises with her that will strenghten her pelvic area and back. Any ideas? I cannot lunge at the moment as my school is too deep I will hack in walk and trot, mainly road work and hill work (luckily I have a fab hack just round the corner from me that is all hill work on quiet roads) Just hope she gets sorted soon!

Glad to hear it!

Hillwork has to be good but i wouldn't over do it too soon, but i'm sure you know that x

Thanks , She will be ok to walk around it as she has been doing so for the last month in hand (knakering I tell you , I've never felt so fit!) but will build up the trotting slowly.
