Mid-Atlantic will ultrasound him Tues. to confirm or deny this diagnosis. I turned him out tonight with 1.5 cc ace. He did a bit of languid bucking, and just a tidge of trot and canter, then settled down to eat. If he were more lame I would be more cautious.

I think that turnout is a good rule of thumb as long as he does not have paddock mates that make him run or turn excessively. I am sure that Harv would take good care of him.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-61446991314750027842011-08-05T19:30:08.595-04:002011-08-05T19:30:08.595-04:00Oh, dear.

When Tucker pulled his shoe and had to stay in too, things quieted down. Fortunately the hot weather made going out in the pasture less appealing than standing in the shady stalls with their fans...but still.<br /><br />My heart aches for you andJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-69100536039554544032011-08-05T16:23:18.960-04:002011-08-05T16:23:18.960-04:00I feel so very sympathetic.

As you said you don't even have a diagnosis yet. I know of one situation personally, you probably more, where the horse really suffered from being kept in. You can reassess when you have a definite diagnosis.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09369843518823655377noreply@blogger.com
