Feb last year my then 13 YO ISH came in with his near hind leg swollen beyond beleif, after a week or so it was diagnosed that he had a massive 6cm vertical hole in his SI caused by something (a thorn possibly) puncturing and infecting the area. It had been festering for a few months and made this hole and then ruptured on 2nd Feb, after a month or so battling deadly lymphangitis and nearly loosing him we rested him until feb this year when he had his all clear scan after some light work, we were slowly increasing his work, alwasy erring on side of caution and he went lame on the same leg, a scan confirmed that the ligament was beginning 2 rupture again, the vet is fantastic but thinks we may only get him back 2 light hacking if lucky, does anyone have any experience of anything similar or any tips for rehabilitation or therapy? we were told by the vets this is a pretty one off case but anything relating to SI's would help, sorry its such a long post, thanks for reading, any advice welcome to help my special boy!
