Don't give up hope there are horses on here who have been written off but come back from almost the brink
Been a while but heres the latest.
Its not good news i'm afraid.
Jess decided to kick her stable wall at some point over the last couple of weeks and it has damaged the flexor tendon...probably beyond repair.
So for the next week she will be out in a small paddock on 2 butes a day to see if anything improves. Maybe mother nature and grass will have an effect?
We are stuck in a catch 22. She needs good work to help keep the locking patellas/arthritis at bay..but can't actually do this work while shes got the tendon issues.
Vet reckons she may,at the best make a slow plodder, maybe in 12 months time or so but one mad dash across the field may cause more tendon issues and by then insurance wont cover previous injuries(Which is scandalous in my opinion) and tbh i cant let her go through all this again..shes been so brave.
So we have 7 days or so together to pray for a miracle and after that decisions will have to be made.
Devastated.
