Good luck, Katrina !  I hope the results come back OK.


I'm pulled from the VVMarchMadness -- do we have a place for pull codes?

Caisson got his ultrasound today, and is now confined to "mild  
theraputic exercise" for the next 2 weeks, plus some meds.  The good  
news is that the tendons and ligaments all looked good.  There is  
some mild inflammation, but it is external to the tendons/ligaments  
themselves.  There isn't any disruption or inflammation of the tendon/ 
ligament fibers.  We also did digital xrays of the splint bones, and  
those looked good, too.    The not-so-good news is that the vet(s)  
couldn't identify what *is* causing the inflammation.  Frustrating.

So - Caisson is confined to walking and easy trotting on the flat in  
straight lines and big turns for 20 - 30 minutes a day for the next  
two weeks, and gets an anti-inflammatory cream applied once a day.    
Then we have a recheck, and go from there.
