Just had to have the Vet out to my chestnut mare again.

[Meowy Catkin]

My Vet wants her colleague to look at CM on Monday and then they are going to talk about how to proceed. They have both seen during her field rest over the last year, so they both know her and her history well.



I think that X-rays will be the next step. Her fetlock joint doesn't feel 'smooth' (when you flex the joint) and it's hot and she tries to snatch her leg off you - which isn't like her at all. She's on anti-inflamitaries and painkillers.

Fingers crossed for her.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Thanks.

Oh poops

On the bright side, two heads are better than one.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

That's exactly what they are thinking.

It's so frustrating - it wasn't that long ago (two months ish) that she was sound and I took her for a couple of in-hand walks with the two year old, which she really enjoyed.

Fingers crossed for you and CM.

Hope it goes well and they find the cause and cure.

I hope they can figure out what is going on, and that your mare is on the mend very soon!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Thanks everyone.

Hugs and best wishes to you and CM, Faracat x

BIG HUGS X

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Thanks - I've passed the get well wishes onto her and I've given her a big hug too. I've got to the point where I don't even care if she can never be ridden again, as long as she can have a pain free retirement.
