The Nitty Gritty

In a follow-up from my last post, we've officially found the cause of Mate's lameness/unsoundness. And it's not good...


Even before I bought him, I knew that he was damaged - possibly, beyond my repair. But the sale went through anyway. 

After a second Bute trial, the vet concluded his back was reason. Rats...



Treatment? Pretty much just another waiting game. 
We've got a highly reguarded massage/chiro therapist coming out to evaluate Mate for a schedule of treatment every week for a month. After that, he'll have to be spelled for three months if he's still lame. 


I just want him to be as happy and comfortable as possible - I'm staying positive and we're not giving up without a fight!!
