Grumpy

Cody's stifle is so much better already.

But I see an evolution of his nature. Well sort of. He's the herd boss now. And he's much sterner. Grumpier. Pinning his ears and herding everyone.

But once in a while he pins his ears at me so I have to get onto him so he doesn't think it's appropriate.

Cody's Surgery - Second Stifle

Peg and I took Cody and T to the Halloween Ride/Obstacle Course out at Little Manatee River State Park.  We had a really great time.

There was a horse chiro there and so I decided to get Cody adjusted. I mentioned to her that he had a stifle issue on one side, and she said she had some exercises to show me to help it. She looped the leadrope around his rear fetlock and pulled his leg out to the side slightly. Then released, then pulled it out, then released.

He didn't like this and the first step he took after she was done was halting. I tied him back up when she was done so he could finish his hay.

When we went to load in the trailer he was very ginger on that rear leg.

The next day, he could barely walk. The ligament on that stifle was completely out of groove.

So Today the vet took one look at it and did the surgery on the second stifle. He's now had both cut.

He's very sore and unhappy.
