Breezy’s initial lameness evaluation back in the spring was because she had an intermittent lameness on her hind end. The results of the lameness evaluation showed an issue on the front left, which lead to X-rays revealing the bone chip(s) in her fetlock. The vet came back out do a post-surgery lameness evaluation. The good…
This is going to be short, because I just can’t write. Within one week, my sister lost two of her three children. My nephew died on Monday. My niece died on Wednesday. Mom and I flew out to be with my sister on Wednesday. Not going into details, because this is a family tragedy. Thanks…
The Amazing Miss B (aka Breezy) earned her nickname while recovering from the surgery to remove the bone chips from her front left fetlock. She has to be confined to a stall for 6-8 weeks. We’re allowed to hand graze her as long as she remains calm. When Isis was on stall rest after colic…
Breezy was happy to see us today, but not so happy to get on the trailer (took some convincing that we were going home). Her welcoming party was very relieved to see her and get her discharge papers from the hospital. The vets removed one bone chip. Breezy had three small incisions where the surgery…
I managed to not be too much of a wreck today, but still nervous. Our appointment for the vet hospital was 10:00 AM, so we got her there in plenty of time. She got on the trailer well and was a good girl about everything. This is only the second time I’ve taken Breezy anywhere….
I have been a stressed out wreck anticipating Breezy’s surgery. Just revisiting the vet hospital where Kasane died was enough to make me leery. I’ve been on edge most of the week for several reasons: Breezy’s surgery, the people at the barn having their own non-emergency medical situation to deal with, and just Life happening…
I heard back from my vet about the bone chip in Breezy’s front left fetlock. The bone chip looks like a little tiny ball in her joint, but if left untreated, it could lead to joint damage, arthritis, and other bad things. My vet referred Breezy to the NCSU large animal hospital for surgery to…
Breezy has had a strange lameness that has manifested as either back left or front right. It looks like her back strides aren’t the same length. She’s had several weeks off and it hasn’t seemed to help. The vet came out yesterday to do a lameness evaluation for Breezy. The vet used a lameness locator…
Breezy came up lame on her back right leg.
