So to start I'm letting everyone know the vet is scheduled to come out tomorrow at noon. Any appointments today would have been an emergency call and nothing indicated the need for that.
My poor Lizzy has a swollen very hot and sore to the touch tendon on her left front. I got a text this afternoon so my friend went out to check since I was stuck at work. She is just slightly off when I went out there and she had been given some bute and it was wrapped when I got out there. Thought is either a torn tendon sheath or a torn tendon. Either way my riding season is probably shot since we were conditioning for endurance.
I think she slipped in the deep mud from all the rain or was fighting with someone.
So can someone please tell me the best and worst outcomes? I'm kinda having a meltdown here thinking the worst. I'm at least hoping she can stay at least in a paddock for recovery as my new barn definitely costs more than I can afford for a stall.
