Vet Follow Up for Jack & Nugget

Dr. Rach came out today to discuss Jack's blood work. Everything came back normal which would typically be good news but what it means for us, is that we have no idea how to treat Jack's symptoms. We're try the panacure protocol first and then I'm not sure what we'll do. Time to hit the internet for answers.

He really came out to x-ray Nugget's front left fetlock & pastern. Turns out Nugget has a small bone spur that could very well be responsible for the inflamation and swelling of the joint. The first thing Dr. Rach recommended was to trim Nugget's toes right back to the toe callous. Once again, I'll be reading up on the interent to see what other folks have tried. Cortosone could be an option but Dr. Rach recommended some herbal options for pain management.

The day was not entirely grim however because we had tickets to Cavalia. What a magnificent show for horse lovers. By far, this was one of my all time favourite shows that I've ever seen. Mark and Sherri bought 14 front row tickets. Aside from having plenty of leg room, it was a real treat to be sitting so close to the performance.

Cavalia was a beautiful demonstration of liberty ground work and riding and if you get a chance to go - I highly recommend it.

Take care,
