Have you guys ever known a vet to clear a horse to go back to work that has a fracture? Horse is completely sound and was x rayed for an unrelated reason but was found to have a (probable) avulsion fracture of the long pastern bone. He believes that the fracture is pretty old and said that since it isn’t affecting his soundness that he doesn’t recommend doing anything for it.
I plan on getting a second opinion, but I was just curious if you had ever heard/seen a situation like this and what your opinions are on it. The horse is an older lower level eventing packer.
Thanks!
