Darn it all, I feel so badly for my mare today...I have not been able to come out since Monday and I fear this was occurring to her, even then. IN fact, Last Friday my sissy and my Must ride Mondays friend and I took the horses to one of the arena's we go to often...it was very cold, but we were dressed right. The mare acted out pretty badly.. and we did notice her being a bit off...but we lunged her and she came good again-it seemed.
Now, I am rethinking it all, over and over..when and what has happened?!
She is very off in her left rear...sometimes not allowing her heal to land..no swelling anywhere and only minimal heat. A bit squishy in the pastern near her fetlock.
I cold hosed her, massaged her. Found that her left hip is very sore too.I gave her 2 grams of Bute. Then I wrapped her in standing wraps for the night, as she is favoring it and not loading it.
I am waiting to hear from my therapist..but may take her to the vet when they open again.I have never had her lame before-in the four years I have been with her...tis a bit scary.
Shoot up a prayer for my mare would ya's?!
Keep ya posted~
