Well after Tobes hanging himself off the stable bolt issue, I am having the vet back out again tomorrow.
I want them to x-ray him. He appears to be dropping one hip when he is walking down the track, I think more than he was after he got over his initial nearly falling over stage.
YO tells me he has been galloping about madly for the last three days. This I take with a massive pinch of salt. She is a drama queen and until today I have seen no mud up his legs which would indicate he hasn't as the fields are like a bog, and if he has been galloping about he would have mud up his legs. Today when I got him in, he actually did, so, yes, I think today he has.
The day he injured himself, he was bucking sideways when the vet came. I think this must be pain related. YO appears to think he can't be that sore if he is galloping around, but I am inclined to think it is a pain issue. I might be wrong, but seems peculiar he was bucking sideways the day he injured himself and was very wobbly on his feet and today I noticed he was hitching that hip down the track and he has been galloping around.
Does anyone have any experience? Is it likely that pain could cause him to do this? I brought him in tonight. It was hugely windy and he walked up the track like a little angel, barely spooking at anything. So not like he was on one really.
