[RC] stif'e problem: how to diagnose... any advice appreciated! - A. Perez

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone, especially vets,
with experience with a horse lame due to stifle soreness.  I
suspect her patella may have been dislocated and is in the
correct place now but still sore as a result.  Are there any
tests or things to look for to determine the exact nature of the
problem?  We are currently doing bute and stall rest for 5 days.
If there is no improvement, what next?  Xrays?  Ultra sound? 
After the stall rest, what is the best approach to avoiding
furture problems?  Exercise?  

Thanks
