Training
On 12/30/12 we're back at training our two year olds to be. Over course of last few days. #148' hock steadily improved, all swelling subsided except the horse still sports an apricot size bump over the injury.
Treatment since 12/26--Horse received a shot of "Legend" --hyaluronic acid, shot of banamine, daily 1 gram bute, and doxycycline anti biotic. With L. Simic's comment we passed on the furzone that might create anaerobic bacteria--main fear in hock inj. is infection of joint capsule!
Horses both galloped riderless in play fashion12/30 and 12/31. #148 showed usual enthusiasm. #7 showed usual reluctance to gallop fast. Good to be back in business. We've had to pass riding this week as our good rider developed a back problem Xmas day. Happy New Year To All!

This vid was helpful.The position of the wound and main swelling indicates that joint capsule of the tibiotarsal (the biggest of the 4 joints of which the whole hock consists)is probably not involved.It looks like to me that maybe the wire scraped a piece of the periosteum (bone surface) beneath the skin and created osteomyelitis (infection to the periosteum).Is that main swelling around the wound still soft or it hardens a little bit?
