I went out to treat the lovely Tom yesterday. Tom's in his older years now but has continued to be ridden and has never had a day sick or sorry in his life, so his recent episode of lameness has been quite troubling for him and his owner. His vet assessed and prescribed restricted turn out and bute for two weeks, after which he wasn't looking much better , so they okay'd me to take a look. Bless him, he really was looking quite down and had clearly changed his posture to cope with the lameness which had then caused him numerous compensatory issues that were obviously really uncomfortable too!!
Today I received this message from his owner...
JennyThe grumpy old man is not worse today, he is better than he's been for a while Even with this awful weatherWell done you, see you in two weeks xx
Hopefully that will help his body on the road to recovery and his vet and I will now work together to get him sound and happy again .
