Here is the deal: (this is the message I sent to Tom).
I sent this message to you last week. I wanted to ad another question as
well. :-) If it is a old torn hamstring that has healed but not reallly
right, is it making it worse to ride her? Have her turned out?
Hi its me again with another question for you.
One of my mares has an on again off again lameness problem in her LH which
started in 93 with a fall (they thought pulled hamstring at the time). After
a lay off then I started conditioning and can sometimes get through rides
and then again get pulled for a "gait aberation". She has finished a 1050
miles, mostly middle to back of pack. Top ten 2 times. Only 50s.
Now she has been laid off for 6 months and I had the vet out yesterday. She
is slightly off LH AGAIN!?? We xrayed the hock and I am getting ready to
take her to Davis for ultrasound, scintigraphy etc. Do you have any other
suggestions of what to look for, and more importantly if it is a torn
hamstring that has not healed properly (this is what my vet is leaning
towards)is she now "unraceable" (endurance wise).
Any suggestions or comments would be very appreciated.
:-) jessica
PS: The xrays show "clean" hocks. :-(?
