ask your vet?

I will ask in the morning but just wondering now and thought some ppl might know.

Just a FYI - I called my vet this morning and a tendon ultrasound scan costs £90 and this is for 2 legs.

Sounds about right, my 1st one was around the £45 mark then the ones after that were tendon & sort tissue ultrasounds they were around 85 each, what has your horse done?

She had a windgall that has never given her any trouble and unless you were looking for it you could see it. Anyway after hairing around the field while she was in season on Friday she was lame and the windgall was the size of an egg. Vet came out Friday and said she has pulled a tendon

Ouch, my girl had a 2cm tear in her deep digital flexor in her back leg, she did that just having a run around the field!!!
