<< Can some one please explain "bone spur"? Thanks.

Oh, also...I did ice this but not until Sunday morning, and it should have
been done Sat. evening, even though I didn't notice anything then. And he is

on MSN now . This horse is not stalled, his area is about 1 1/2 acres.

Thanks,

Kathleen ( oh yeah...there's no more heat in the leg ) >>

1. Just because heat is gone does not mean the damage is no longerr there.
Do give more time off and start slowly. Keep a good watch for ANY heat or
swelling to recur. If you start back to soon, this may recur.

2. Bone spur is probably a splint...means nothing if horse stays sound and
there is no heat. If too high or too low it can interfere with suspensory
ligament and may have to be removed. But, chances are it is a cold
split..leave it be. I.E. If it ain't broke.don't fix it. If you horse is
not lame, don't worry about it.
