Today I went to the veterinary practice that’s been treating Beech’s fracture.<\/p>\n
I met the veterinary surgeon who took me in to a small office where we went through the three sets of x-rays that mark his progress.<\/p>\n
The first set was taken the day after he was kicked.<\/p>\n
The second set was taken three weeks later.<\/p>\n
The third set was taken almost five weeks later again.<\/p>\n
The first group of x-rays show no sign of damage at all.<\/p>\n
The second group clearly shows signs of calcification (outlined).<\/p>\n
But no explicit signs of a fracture (and we should perhaps remind ourselves that after this x-ray Beech trotted up sound!).<\/p>\n
The third group shows a hairline fracture (outlined) but the calcification has vanished – a good sign.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is the prognosis is good.<\/p>\n
He’s got another six weeks of box rest but the Robert Jones Dressing can come off.<\/p>\n
And we can get a farrier to remove his shoes and trim his feet.<\/p>\n
Get well Beech!<\/p>\n
