Oh bb's I'm so pleased to hear he's up on his feet and made it through the op - I'm gutted that it was inoperable and will keep everything crossed that the alternative treatments will work.
Sending you a huge ((((hug)))) babe

My SiL's mare was to have bone chip operated on last year, but again, they couldn't reach it so wasn't removed. Joint medicated, and box rested. She has been in work for 6 months or so now, and no problem so far.
I haven't been in here too much recently and missed your earlier posts.
I'm so sorry to read this but am sending huge hugs that he continues to make good progress.
BBs, I'm so sorry to read that the op didn't go to plan. Still, try and think positively, there can still be a good outcome with the other treatment. Thinking of you and Snoopy x
I am so pleased Snoopy has got up (((hugs))) for you both, V i have everything crossed for you its about time some good stuff happened for you this year
xx
holy sh1t... my heart was in my mouth reading your first post..

keeping my fingers crossed for him for the treatment..
(((big hugs)))

Oh god V I really cannot believe it, could fill my eyes welling up when I read your first post. So glad he is up now and everything crossed that he will pull through all this xxx
So glad he's up. I am quite hopeful with what you've said Bud has fractures in his Sesamoids which we found last year when he went slightly lame, he had the injection but it didn't make mass of difference so he had 3 months off in field, came back into work and as you know (touching lots of wood) is ok...... Bud must have had them before we bought him, vet said probably done as a foal/youngster, alot of racehorses get it due to over extension when young etc. I know chips slightly different but fingers tightly crossed he'll pull through and be back to full work after treatment. If not you may have to compete Bud for me when i'm busy with Fin
Thank you honey.
Im looking into having him referred to Newmarket atm.
I want to make totally sure that injections are teh only way to go right now. I dont want to wait 3 months to find out its done nothing.
He will hate doing nothing, he lives to work being a hack would destroy him, he totally hates hacking as its so boring lol
Good plan, Bud wasn't insured (must get that sorted!) so after first injection didn't really make huge difference after 1 week, which vet said it would, i just thought rest was best option. He didn't really like it either being out and not working but wasn't for too long. Yes they are quite similar, show off smarty pants, just pray it all works out as like you say he's not a hack.
Give him a hug from me xx
