Well as the month passed, Cody seemed to be moving better, but looking worse. He dropped weight, his front end seems to look alot bigger than his rear end.. All in less than a month! He is in pain and on bute.
Just yesterday, he came up with swollen legs, hobbling and acted like he had to urinate but couldn't. Another trip to the vet was in order.
He was given Lasix, and urinated pretty quickly. The vet has decided his problem isn't the stifles, it's his back. A thermal inspection showed heat in the lumbar and the stifles. The vet really feels that the problem is the back which is throwing the stifles and everything else off.
I have been referred to a chiropractor who can tell us if it can be fixed or not. If not, I will not leave this young horse I love so much in pain.
