Anyone know when its okay to resume neck stretches following steroid into the joints (C5/C6)?
It was one of the questions of many that I had, and I forgot to ask the vet. If no one knows I will just ring up but I thought someone might save me the bother.
The vet was pleased with the amount of flexibility that he had with his stretches, but there was a small flare of arthritis which had shown up on xray and may/may not have contributed to his slight ataxia so it was decided to inject.
His neck was medicated last Thursday.
Also I am long lining on vets instruction on hard ground (grass/road) and he keeps on putting his head down to graze so any ideas how to stop him from doing so, I am trying to use my lunge whip to keep him moving forwards but when we have to stop for a car to pass he does it. My physio says not a good idea to interfere with his neck movement at this time or restrict it in anyway.
