The vet came by this morning to check Lily, who attempted to bow a tendon two weeks ago. We were all extremely pleased to see that the injured left leg, which has been in a gel cast for two weeks, is now identical to the perfect right leg. The vet couldn’t get even an ear flicker as she palpated the leg, so Lily is not feeling any tenderness. It couldn’t be better at this stage.
For three days we will keep her in her current tiny paddock (made by closing off the end of a long run) without any cast or other support. Then, if all goes well, she will be allowed into the larger ran. In ten days or so, I will begin handwalking her. Despite the good news, we still have a lengthy rehabilitation ahead of us.
