Nope, well I did for 6 days, but the oedema came up so I whapped her back off it again (that was 2 weeks ago now) and haven't started again since as a bit wary after the oedema.Had you got as far as re-introducing the Prascend? Whatever the reason for the improvement, long may it continue!
And now she's blown her knee, just to top it off vet is coming first thing tomorrow. Pretty sure it's her knee but too much swelling to know if the suspensory (same one) or tendon is also involved, I've iced it, given bute and put topical dsmo/dex on it and shut her back in the little paddock so hopefully it will be less swollen in the morning for the vet.
Brilliant!Doing a happy dance looks like no structural problem, joint, tendons and ligaments all seem good, vet thinks it is an allergic reaction to some kind of bite or sting, though we can't find any evidence of that. I've never known Jess have such a big reaction to a bug bite, I know there is an adder nest right next to the paddock she was in, but who knows. So antihistamines and bute for a few days and it will probably get worse before it gets better, just got to keep an eye for infection. But the really good news, She said Jess is sounder (in her feet) than she was when she saw her 2 weeks ago, and last time she had boots on and this time she didn't
Yep, I said to my vet I would mind less if she could just let one thing heal before the next thing starts! Its been a right old run of it.A friends horse had an allergic reaction to something last week. She swelled up terribly round her face, neck and shoulders. She was so swollen she couldn’t eat properly. Vet gave anti histamine and Bute, but had no idea what could have caused it. No adders around here!
Glad Jessey is doing better, she has been putting you through it lately hasn’t she?
