I have no idea

The ET isn’t a weight-bearing tendon, so theoretically it shouldn’t be affecting how well the DDFT or SFT or SL work, and especially since she spent so much time not bearing full weight on the injured leg.
It makes me wonder if now that she IS fully weight bearing, and she’s still so young and growing, that maybe due to lack of weight-bearing, it did not really mature at the rate the other one did in terms of its ability to handle a load?
Who’s the nearest equine hospital? If your vet doesn’t have any ideas, I’d sure be getting him/her to discuss this with them. Heck, even if they aren’t anywhere near you, the vet should be calling New Bolton or Marin DuPont or somewhere like that to get thoughts.
I’d say an SMB isn’t a bad idea BUT, they can’t be used for long because of the heat they hold. Sure, for walks, maybe not a bad idea.
How much turnout is she getting? While in her stall I would probably be doing a snug low standing wrap for most of the time, and letting the leg be as nekked as possible for increasing periods of time, on the theory of that allowing it to rest and get stronger over time. But that’s just my theory.[/QUOTE]
Thats why I’m wondering if there was a secondary injury… She was weight bearing through most of the injury… He did suggest that we were wrapping the bandage too tightly, but I’m not sure what affect that would have had on her… THe video I posted the middle of June, she was doing great, no sign of the sinking fetlock, and she was lightly wrapped there… I knew that the SMb can’t be used for long periods of time, thats why I’m wondering about standing wraps… She is still in the stall w/ about a 40ftx12ft run. Our vet is talking w/ a more specialized farrier about it and the wonky front leg… We are also scheduling an appointment with one of the local top TB leg specialists for another opinion… I really feel strongly that this has been caused by something else as like I said, she’d been ok for well over a month with just the wound dressing wraps (no support), and then all of a sudden we noticed that she was sinking in that fetlock., This poor girl, if it isn’t one thing its another. She just can’t catch a break
