[RC]   stifle and stringhalt - Ridecamp Guest
 
Caryn Peck capeck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
My horse was recently diagnosed as having probably irritated his stifle.  His only symprtom was not being able to hold his canter on one side and a reticense of moving forward.  x-rays and ultrasounds of the stifle did not show anything significant.  When the stifle area was blocked,  the horse moved better.  He was to be rested for 8 weeks after injecting the stifle, and slowly put back to work.  After about 2 weeks of walking and seemingly fine (but I didn't know for sure as I was not lunging, trotting or cantering so I could not tell) horse didn't want to move forward AND appeared to have extremely minor stringhalt.  I'm devistated and paniced.  Also, this horse has had a "clicking" sound in his stifle.  Vets don't know what the clicking sound is.   I would be so thankful for any help, ideas, thoughts...
Thanks so much,
Caryn
