Hello, Im new to the forum!!

I recently adopted an off the track horse. She is just gorgeous and I love her to bits. She has what is believed to be a broken sesnoid bone in her back leg. She is walking ALOT better on it now but it still get sore every now and then.
I was told to keep her on stall rest for a couple of months. Was wondering if there was anything else I could do for her? It doesnt seem to be bothering her to much and I have had a couple vets out to check on her. I am cold wrapping it to make her more comfortable and have also soaked her leg in cold water for 20mins about everyother day.
Anything else that I should be doing to keep her comfortable?

really appreciate it!!

What you need to do first is get an actual diagnosis. Because you describe what could be 3 different injuries that have 3 different treatments.
The first and what you are most likely dealing with:Sprain of the Distal Sesamoid ligament-The onset of lameness is sudden with swelling over the area. Treatment, confine horse to stall for 6 weeks and wrap with a support bandage, return horse to work very slowly as area will always be prone to re-injury.
Second-Sesamoiditis, this occurs following a sprain. Signs vary in degree of pain/swelling visible over the back of the leg. Treatment-Ice packs followed by compression therapy, If severe cast up to knee for 2-3 weeks. Corrective shoeing, with a very long rest period[months] Gradual return to light work.
And third, A fracture of the sesamoid- Horse immobilized in a sling with a compression bandage, followed by a hard cast to knee for 12 weeks. Then standing bandages and stall rest, possibly blistering of joint. Treatment however is rarely successful and as a rule they are unfit for work, have permanent lameness,stiffness, arthritis and calcification.
Bute is the drug of choice for these injuries, but there are other options.
The only way to get a proper diagnosis is to have x-rays and/or ultrasound to confirm which one your actually dealing with.
Good Luck

I would have to agree with Ltc4h, you need to spend the money ( I know it is hard right now) and get a good thorough exam done. That way she can heal properly and has a better chance of being sound long term. The longer on waits the more damage that can be done. You also have to consider that these ex-racers have had a enormous amount of stress, strain and concussion put on their legs from an early age, So along with the proper diagnosis and treatment (followed to the T) and supplements wether injectable (which is proven best and cheaper in the long run) or oral, she could potentially make a good horse. But first you need to find out what is really wrong before more damage is done. Because a horse put back to work to soon on the wrong diagnosis can ruin them for life.

Good luck hope this helps and let us know with an update.

Thankyou both very much !!!
I got x-rays done on tuesday just waiting for the vet to get back to me. He said we should know tomorrow but what you described as Sprain of the Distal Sesamoid ligament sounds about right. She is being such a good girl and I hope I can figure this out so we cna take the best way to recovery!! Thankyou both and ill let you know for sure!
