Well all was going well with our foal he was two weeks old when he came in from field slightly lame. Ground was very wet and thought maybe he had slipped and pulled something. Next morning he was hopping lame so vet called. Vet suspected joint ill in elbow. As slight swelling and temperature up. Gave ab's and painrelief. The next day he was almost completely sound but vet thinks might just be due to pain relief. Foal is very bright in self and feeding well.
Advised to continue ab's and see how he is later. Anyone been through this? Experiences/outcomes? What treatment they had? And the dreaded question of cost. I don't want to sound mercenary but he isn't insured due to age and whilst I want o give him everychance I don't have bottomless pockets.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
