"If still in the fetlock, we could try injecting it with IA Adequan (slt higher risk of infection). May need to reradiograph the joint to be sure no new problems (another chip or excessive remodeling post-op)."
So, we'll be taking more pictures of his little ankle. I haven't made the appointment yet, but it will be sometime in the near future. I'll keep you updated, as always. Away we go...

stay positive! I know it is hard, but Jimmy is very lucky to have a good owner who is trying her best to help him out.
Stephanie's right, always know you have the peace of mind that you're literally doing every possible thing you can for him. Not even half that much can be said for a lot of horse owners out there.
Thanks ladies :-) It is so hard.
That's all you can do - take things one step at a time. I'm on somewhat the same track with Maisie - she doesn't stay sound in work for long - in her case its weak rear suspensories. She's on a month rest, and then we're off for some ultrasounds to evaluate things. It may turn out that she'll only be able to walk on the trail and not much else. But we'll have to see. Sending good thoughts.
Good thoughts back at you, Kate. Sorry to hear about Maisie. The workshop I went to last night talked about how nutrition directly effects your horse's suspensories. Poor nutrition causes them to injure, heal, and re-injure. KAM Animal Services is who put on the workshop. Might be something to look into for Maisie since...she's curable! (According to them, Jimmy's type is not curable - predisposed in utero...boo)
