started truck and they all ran off
let me catch him. got 3/4 the way to truck and reared up and spun and tried to run. tried a few times while i yelled at him and hung on. lifted me up a tiny bit. NO SIR! managed to hold him. shocked him! got him to trailer.
vet visit: sound and looking fantastic right hind! Barely flexed positive and worked out of it quickly. then vet student did left hind and he looked crippled. Like.. could barely trot.. toe touching crippled. worked up the limb and got slightly better the higher we went. ultrasounded fetlock... tendon sheath effusion, mild adhesion. but suspensory looks good. phew! Injected with steroids and HA, rest 5 days, then shockwave.
back to work after, slowly build him back up, base more on how he feels left hind vs the stifle.
xrayed stifle - looks so much better.
foot films - great shape. can stay barefoot behind, but left hind is slightly negative. likely from compensating for right hind. will k tape after bandage comes off to help support and support the tendon sheath too.
yay! Left naked because... last "warm" day for a bit. And.. bad idea. sooooo filthy!
