Update, on Day 2 and 3 she started stocking up more. She had a grapefruit swelling on her knee. One stifle appears to be her biggest issue. It was very big and tight. No fever. All of the cuts and scrapes are resolving. The swelling appears to be related more to trauma than infection. I decided that my best maintenance option would be getting her moving a little bit to improve circulation. Once she got going, she did pretty good. Even trotted a little because she wanted to get back to the other horses.
Day 4 – Brighter. More mobile. Still stiff in the one stifle area. However, all of the swelling seems to be coming down. Grapefruit on the knee is gone.
Summary of the Equioxx dosage:
3x 57MG on Wednesday night.
57mg on Friday morning. (I did see a couple of sloppy manure mounds on Friday. Diarrhea is one of the signs of too much Equioxx.)
57mg Saturday noon. Several normal manure piles waiting for me Saturday AM.
I welcome any suggestions for making her legs heal faster or more comfortable.
