update on ''strange lameness''

[MandyMoo]

some of you might want to know the update if you read the previous post

had vet out today...and his first remark when he saw Dani's hock was ''woah he's had a bad kick!'' but the good news is, he did flexion tests etc etc etc and the vet seemed pretty confident it was a soft tissue injury and hopefully not a joint/bone injury. (which is good as we were dreading the word ''fracture'')

he has prescribed danilon twice a day for a week and box rest (going to be a bit of a nightmare for a TB but hmm...im sure we will cope...its only a week

) and if he doesnt improve we will have to x-ray etc...but hopefully he will improve

so nothing too serious (hopefully :S)

thanks for reading

oh and also...IF he is perfectly sound by this weekend and then has a weeks worth of work...would you guys recommend he would be safe to showjump by the 14th march (only british novice...nothing majorly big, he is only at that height atm)or would u not reccomend it? :/

Hmm, I wouldnt recommend it because you will be surprised at the fitness he will lose, but it depends on the horse. See how it goes and make a decision later. Otherwise good luck. Get well vibes coming your way!!

Hopefully not too serious then

I personally wouldnt jump a week after coming off box rest
