Tanza's fetlock lameness is improving. They did not take new x-rays, the vet said since its only 2 months she wouldn't expect to be able to see much change on the sesamoid x-rays, but with the level of improvement in gait after flexion from November she didn't think he needed to have shock wave therapy and if they do the shockwave it is $800-1K each time and they do it 3 or 4 times every 2 weeks. The only issue they found on his stifle was some excess fluid, and that might from him compensating for the fetlock soreness.
So keep on doing what I have been, using the cold laser 4-5 times a week and feeding the OCD pellets and I can bring him back for a recheck in 2 months. I'll probably just have Dr Mike evaluate him. I need to get another trailer ball with only a couple inches of drop to pull my trailer with B's pickup. I guess I was hoping/thinking I'd have my pickup to use by then. But I should drive B's pickup somewhat more often, I've been using the trickle charger some to keep the battery okay but vehicles should be driven a couple times a month for other things.
