My TB Mare came up lame about 3 weeks ago, we believe she slipped on the ice. What happened to her back end area is still a bit of a mystery. Her right hind leg was lame, first day or two she did not want to put pressure on it much and would drag it a bit, her back was bunched up and tight. I had a vet/chiropractor out and he adjusted her and injected hock and leg area with a homeopathic remedy. She was a bit better for a day or two but not completely. A week later had another vet out that did a total lamesness exam. From what we can tell she may have pulled the tendons around her stifle joint and the tendons are not supporting the joint as they should. (Never any swelling or heat in any area) She is walking pretty decent with out much noticed lamesness, but the trot is off and she really does not want to trot. The vet put her on bute and surpass and she is coming home to rest. I am just wondering if anyone has any other idea's of what this may be. I am not going to get into xrays and hock injections yet, my feeling is if it is a pulled tendon this will take time and rest is the best option. Any info or input would be great, or any supplemental idea's for healing and recovery. If anyone has had a similar issue and the length of time to return to normal, please share!
