Well i had my vet today for my horses second scan on her check ligament. Here's her scan from 30th December showing her injured ligament and the scan from today showing amazing improvement. I think even the vet was shocked! Its been 3 months and two days since she hurt herself, she got dramatically lame half way through what had been up to then a very uneventful hack going a route and pace she'd gone hundreds of times before.
So after initial immediate ice cupping of the injury, ice vibe boots twice daily, one bute, overnight bandaging and LW ultrasound ten mins once a day for two weeks on, one week off, and two weeks on I have a sound horse who can start to be hacked every other day for 30 mins as well as continue 30 mins horse walker per day and who theoretically can be turned out.
I am going to wait until the weather improves first and it's drier and flatter and paddock made into a postage stamp before she goes out!!
Got the farrier Thursday (thanks C!) for the wonderful heart bar shoes which she's to have on for a while yet.
So thank you to J my vet and to my amazing vet physio mate who lent me her ultrasound. And of course the staff who deal with my horse everyday until I can get there after work!
Really chuffed.
