How do you mean? before and after? TBH I haven't lunged her since 2015 when the old lameness issue started, I only did last week because in my mind I felt like perhaps I was missing a subtle lameness that should be coming with the swelling so wanted to be able to stand back and assess instead of trying to trot her up and watch over my shoulder at the same time. As that made it swell effectively I lunged last night purely for that.Can you get photos showing what a short lunge session does?
The swelling goes completely if she isn't worked, and the vet will see the result of a small amount of work this afternoon, that's why I wanted her to see it swollen, but yes she does seem to believe me, she just doesn't understand why it's happening. Not showing typical symptoms seems to be Jess' MO, she is a stoic old bird so there still could be subtle lameness I'm not catching (trying to assess it alone). She did do a slightly odd thing when I started lunging her on the right rein last night, not a typical head nod but for about half a circle she was moving her nose to the outside a couple of inches in time with footfalls, but then it went.
