She had a massive gravel in her foot (dug it out about half an inch deep, icky) and was "slightly and vaguely off when trotting a small circle on gravel to the left". Like, that was the only time you could see the issue. Grass footing = OK. Pavement = OK. Circle to the right, any footing = OK. But on gravel, to the left, there was an intermittent and slight irregularity to the gait. I couldn't believe how big the hole was when we got it dug out and soaked and such. Luckily, Da Bird is a bit easier to read on the injury front. If he's hurt, he lets me know... but he's not a fainting violet, either. which_chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944558109074440312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-22474854532168081992017-08-04T09:28:07.118-07:002017-08-04T09:28:07.118-07:00yep! i'm happy to give this a little more atte...yep! i'm happy to give this a little more attention and TLC so that hopefully it doesn't continue to crop up as an issueemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-63222201158758056062017-08-04T09:22:24.482-07:002017-08-04T09:22:24.482-07:00Better to be safe than sorry I figure.Better to be safe than sorry I figure.Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-19996924490604082732017-08-04T08:52:40.514-07:002017-08-04T08:52:40.514-07:00ha Megan K swears by splintex too - so i asked the...ha Megan K swears by splintex too - so i asked the vet about it. i was surprised she hadn't heard of it. she prescribed surpass tho, something else i've heard great things about so we're gonna roll with that for now. emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-77256772593875850912017-08-04T08:49:42.954-07:002017-08-04T08:49:42.954-07:00Splintex works well on reducing those suckers!
