HHO's "Bear" project pony...

Bummer. Bog is more lame after flexion than he ever was with original injury. He’s torn some of the connective tissue right next to injury. Vet suspects an adhesion that’s ripped. Back in box for two weeks with a bit of in hand walking then re assess. :( gutted

Gutted for you ?
 
Thanks guys. I’m sat in my car just having got back from the yard just sobbing tbh!

Appreciate there are worst things that can happen but FFS. It was going so well. He had supervised turnout and was doped the entire time I don’t even understand how :(
 
Thanks guys. No idea what to think tbh, if he’s still as lame in two weeks vet thinks we are in trouble. If it settled quickly and he comes sound then vet thinks we can work back up to where we were before reasonably quickly (all things considered).

He did say that sometimes as a last resort they encourage adhesions to rip so that they can heal more correctly if they are still causing a niggle, but he was obviously a long way off this and you wouldn’t want/expect such a degree of lameness.

If we have to go back to square on I’m really not sure I can face putting Boggle back in a box for 3/4 months- But I suppose it’s the controlled structured walking that does the healing and turning away may not achieve that.
 
Keep the faith - it may well come good but, if the worst happens, you know you have done everything you possibly could to help him. I realise that this is no consolation now so just hang on in there for the time being.
