Maybe I need to get an appointment at
Leesburg? I'm located in central Maryland, and a former barn goddess once
told me that you should take lameness problems to Leesburg and metabolic issues
to New Bolton Center (I'm about midway between the two).
I neglected to say that my horse is getting bute --
he got two tabs Wednesday evening, and now one tab 2x daily for three days
followed by one tab 1x daily for an additional four days.

I agree Lucy. The cost of an ultrasound is not that much. It's better
than risking permanent injury. We had an initial diagnostic ultrasound done,
one done about halfway through the treatment and one again when the vet
thought Zab was pretty well healed.
the important thing about rehabbing these, Cindy, is to tryto heal it
without thickening of the suspensory, my vet said. That's why the stall rest
and the initial bute to reduce swelling, and why you don't want to bring the
horse back into work too quickly.
