Whew, Cindy should heal OK

It IS a ligament (actually 2, suspensory and distal sesamoid) but Dr Mike thinks she will heal okay with a month of wraps and confinement. I mentioned my concern of other leg going. He does not think its a likely danger although of course it can happen. Cindy was a horrible patient. She was kicking her bad leg. I had to pop the easy boot off, she barely let Dr Mike cut the wrap off, and then she wouldn't let him pick up her leg to use the hoof testers to see if was abscess and he was thinking he might find that to be the case. He had to give her a 1/2 dose of sedative to settle her jets so he could test the hoof and then palpate the ligaments. Thats my fire breathing dragon LOL.
