Dec. 28th, 2015 09:32 pmQuick update on the big lady, she's moving much better this afternoon. She actually jogged in for lunchish when I put the horses up before afternoon lessons.
I have set up to take her for x-rays Wednesday to see where we are at with her ringbone. I'll be keeping up the cortizone plus DMSO and am thinking of dropping her to two grams Bute morning and night because I don't want to be looking at ulcers and if she does stiffen up with the lower dose I can always up it again.
Another minor update, Tru-D seems to be over getting stepped on by Charm-N. I haven't lunged her yet to see how she's moving on a smaller circle, but I didn't notice any hitches today.

Date: 2015-12-30 03:42 am (UTC)We're still taking her for x-rays tomorrow to see what the ringbone is doing now. It may just be at the point where it is going to require active maintenance, which is worth the effort considering she is a really good mare and has gone a surprisingly long time without the need for special care.
