okayy,
my 14.2hh traditional cob was kicked and took a good few blows to the chest area in field by a horse just over a week ago,
initially he was slighty lame on his near front side, but within a couple of days he was sound, just put it down to being a bit sore.
Just over a week on he trots up sound but seems as if his muscles seize up after minimum exercise on the lunge in just walk and trot and its as if he cannot move his leg easily.Bute makes absolutely no difference to his performance. i gave it too him to help with the swelling and pain for the first few days.
I have had the vet up and she didn't really know what to do as she and has taken bloods to count the muscle enzymes? whatever that is?
has anybody else experienced this with their horse/pony?
or has anybody got any suggestions how to help his recovery?
