[RC] Injury Recovery Question - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Lauretta tikitiki69@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Shaba pulled his tricep muscle about 3 weeks ago. I saw it on the ultrasound the next day and it looked like a whole lot of hematoma, and he was really sore and tried to attack the vet when he touched the spot. After about 2 more days, he wasn't ouchy anymore and hasn't been limping, but I am taking this VERY slow and have only been walking him for short periods and hosing the spot. I am taking him back in a few days to get another ultra- sound to assess what type of recovery plan we will go with. Has anyone had this type of injury, and if so, how did you go about the rehab? The vet says we will wind up 100% sound, but Shaba comes first and I will go as slow as needed to get him back in shape. If you have seen similar injuries, did it reoccur if the horse was ridden on any type of hills, incline, etc. within a certain amount of time from the injury? Or have you seen most horses with this type of strain recover w/ no problem? He is hell on wheels and keeps trying to bolt/run/jump straight in the air as I am walking him cause he has so much energy, and I am trying to find a fine line w/ giving him more exercise vs over- doing it. I will, of course, be consulting with his vet as well over how to proceed, but also wanted to get input from others as well. Thanks Lauretta and Shaba (What injury? I feel like Superhorse. Open the gate and let me go!!!!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
