Hi All,
Just a quick update on Murphy - he was out of work due to a VERY VERY sore muscle over his scapula. Not quite sure how he done it, but done anyway - potientally rolling in a temporary field with far too many stones for my liking but as he was walking through every other fence that was his option for a week!! (Still ongoing issues with YO about fencing but thats another story!!!)
Anyho had 5 days of bute twice daily then 3 days rest and vet back out. Pain almost gone completely but still very swollen, then had Liz Jones out and she found his pelvis out of synch and really tight in the shoulder - she done some manipulation and massage on him and definatly much better. He aslo had a further two weeks of in that time.
Vet back out today and Murphy is about 90-95% almost there. SO another 10 days off an doanother physio session and all fingers crossed we can get going again.
If anyone is around my area I cant recommend enough my vets practise Loch Leven and Liz Jones. They are both fantastic.
I was hoping to get some winter dressage done!!! But I know if I give him the time now its better for him in the long run - cant help my frustrations though as we had just started canter work in the school.
Any way keep your fingers crossed for him - many thanks
