So, first time poster, long time lurker.
Long story short, my lovely little pony tied up massively last Monday. CK levels at 40,000, AST wasn’t mentioned but I’m sure it was high. Advice from the vet was total box rest for a week, with bute initially for the first 5 days.
He’s getting re-tested tomorrow, and I’m absolutely bricking it. He’s only 6 and a half and can be a handful when he’s in - he’d been in for a week previous due to a bit of thrush and having to have a bit of frog cut away so he needed to stay out of the mud. So we’re now at 2 weeks in and this is really his limit.
Initially the vet was concerned about atypical myopathy (until I explained to him that he’d been in), but he hasn’t shown a single sign of any other myopathy or anything at all apart from tying up on the way home from our short walking hack.
I don’t have any experience with this sort of thing, and no one else at my yard does either, despite me being around horses for 21 years! Any words of wisdom really appreciated, as well as positive vibes for tomorrow. Cookies if you’ve made it to the end!
