Please can someone reassure me?I posted a few months ago about my horse and her ringbone. After no improvement the vet surgeon is going to perform a pastern Artherodesis ( think thats how you spell it) and because of this she will have to be knocked out completely. Please can you reassure me about horses and anastetic as I'm really worried. Thank you x 16/9/11 Answer this question |

I am in no way surprised that athrodesis has been elected and there is no way that this can be done without a full anaesthetic. 16/9/11 |

Thanks for your reassurance, she had the operation last night and everything went well, she was straight up (as soon as she was allowed) she is now sporting a lovely blue cast and had morphine for the pain this morning so she was happy, if not a bit subdued :-P Hopefully she'll be able to come home in the next week or so so fingers crossed then its just a waiting game for six months. :) 21/9/11 |

Just had another update from the vet, he's really pleased with how she's coping with the cast and the pain so she can come home tomorrow or saturday so quite excited to see how she continues to progess :) x 22/9/11 |
