Comments on: Tendon Injuries http://americashorsedaily.com/tendon-injuries/ The Complete Source for All Things Horse Fri, 25 May 2012 20:56:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Robin http://americashorsedaily.com/tendon-injuries/comment-page-1/#comment-32912 Robin Wed, 09 May 2012 17:34:41 +0000 http://americashorsedaily.com/?p=4950#comment-32912 Beautiful Rocky Mountain colt rolled into high tensile fence, severed rear leg extensor tendon last August. Had tedious surgery at CSU, in cast six weeks, soft cast through December while increasing size of pen every two weeks. Training under saddle in March proved he was completely sound, and a blast to ride for two really great rides...before he, yes, went out into pasture for one hour and did again, this time on the opposite hing leg. 40 acre pasture, no loose wire or hazards at all. Back to stall rest and tons of wrapping, worrying, hoping for the best. Anyone want a mile worth of high tensile fence in Hudson, Colorado? Free fence to a good home.

She some how got a fence wire wrapped around her leg and was standing there just sawing it up and down. It took a long, long time to heal thanks to a vet that didn't know what she was doing! The vet sewed the tendon back together before stiching the wound closed. When the stitches holding the tendon together dissolved, it ripped the wound open wider. Plus the medicine she said to put on had a blood thinner in it so it was bleeding every day. You can imagine what this looked like and what it looks like now! But she is just as sound now as she was before the accident, praise the Lord! She loves running up and down our hills and dodging among the trees in our pasture. I wouldn't trade her for anything :) My sweet, little quarter horse mare also cut the tendon on her hind leg when she was about six/seven months old.

Was grooming my 8 year old tb gelding, who was tied to the fence next to my mothers gelding, when her gelding all the sudden explodes at my horse like he's trying to kill him. My horse rares and somehow gets his left leg tangled in his lead rope. After a quick panic and try to fix things we get him untangled. Has rope burns in back of knee all the way down the leg. My main concern was any tendon injury. It swelled so we put him in ice boots. The next morning his leg is double the size but he is not favoring at all. Was wondering if the swelling could possibly be just from being stoved up from being in the stall (keeping fingers crossed) Vet cannot make it out till tomorrow. The swelling goes down after i put him in ice boots but i still dont like the looks of things. I also used dmso to sweat out the leg and it did help. Any home remedies i can use until our vet gets here that could help? Have had a dramatic freak accident.
