H - Update!!!!

[H's mum]

Firstly thank you to ALL of you who sent me PMs - rang me and posted to ask after H - I really do appreciate it..

so... the outcome...

sorry it's so late - the vet didn't come friday as he had an emergency - he came out this lunchtime - and my internet was down so I couldn't post to let you all know!

Well... turns out H is lame again on the right hind

It's her annular ligament again - she's not happy - not going forward and taking irregular strides again - Vet was a bit fed up by it - However... all is not lost - He feels that she has torn an adhesion or something has built up and thickened again and she's feeling it - So he wants to bute her up and ride her through it again!

He gave her an intravenous bute and I rode her this afternoon - She is BACK TO NORMAL!! Woohooooo!!! I swear I could've done the most wonderful test on her today - she was balanced, forward and up into the outside rein - every transition was smooth and not a nap in sight!!!

So now I have to work her hard this week to break it all down again - keep her on the bute and call him on friday to report on things!

... will this saga EVER stop! LOL!
Thanks once again for your support!
Kate (and H)

H is so incredibley lucky to have an owner like you that listens to what she is trying to say!! SO many people would have just tried to push her through it, thinking it was all behavioural! I'll still keep everything crossed for her Kate - she's such a good looking girl!

 

[H's mum]

Thanks SN - It's true - that chestnut mare really does talk to me - I've learnt over the years when she's not right and when she's just being a bit cheeky!

Wonderful news!! That bute is fantastic stuff isn't it!! My little Arab couldn't even place her foot on the ground pre-bute but now is trotting around perfectly......mind you any days that I am a little late in getting it into her.....I can see a huge difference......it obviously starts to really hurt her again.

Long live Bute!!

Hope all goes well for H and she is better soon.

So glad it's not something worse....and am very glad that you found the root cause and are able to tackle it.
I'll echo SN's comments,Hvisvso lucky to have her mum looking out for her

Brilliant news kate!!!!

Glad that ones sorted!

 

[ruscara]

I guess that is good news, then. At least you know what it is, and what to do about it. Here's hoping that she is back sound again very soon.
I echo the others - she is very lucky to have you.

Fantastic news, and congratulate yourself for being such an observant and caring owner.

 

[Alibear]

Phew I have been checking for updates! Glad to hear all is under control and that you are vindicated once more. See you really do know that mare inside and out

I shall keep my fingers crossed that the bute works as planned.

Didn't have the nerve to ring/chase you as I though it would only maker the waiting worse for you.

 

[patchandloopy]

oops just a little blip! Glad she is well on the way to full health again! Any news on your new trailer yet?

 

[Bess]

Glad to hear the vet found out what was causing the problem.

 

[Bossanova]

Sort of relief then- I hope the work can sort it out....keep us updated!

 

[BBs]

Thank god!

So pleased to hear this - just what we thought (well sort of hehe)!

Brilliant that you can continue to ride her

and thank god she hasnt lost confidence in you

Ahh Kate I am so pleased

all is not lost on the BD front!!

 

[icestationzebra]

Fingers crossed this works - Poor H

 

[star]

glad to hear it's not too serious and the bute has done the trick. have to say having followed your saga with h, i'm not looking forwards to going through it all with dan. 3more weeks of in-hand walking before im allowed to ride him again and then i guess the rollercoaster really starts!

 

[Sal_E]

Fingers crossed you get it sorted Kate... Relieved it seems to be something that can be worked on.

 

[chestnut cob]

That's good news Kate, better than I expected!

Really hope this is the last of the saga now and that you and H can get back to normal asap. Good to hear the bute helped, that has to be a good sign surely?

 

[guisbrogal]

Sort of good news then

I hope H has a good week and enjoys the 'work'
