Despondency Is No Fun At All

All bummed out and nowhere to go.

Solo did not feel any better on our test ride today. Which means our problems are probably not inflammation, since the bute had little to no effect. He still won't lift his back and push from behind. He still locks down the left side of his jaw HARD. So I am still miserable.

Next step: he is due for a chiropractic adjustment anyway, so I'll call the vet on Monday. If I'm lucky, they can adjust and inspect our mysterious problem.  If I'm really lucky, that will SOLVE our problem.  The hard part will be detecting something that causes no limping, swelling, or heat.

Till then, Mr. Shiny will be hanging out with his buddy, Pete, waiting for dinner and getting fat. *sniff*

  3. Ooooohhh no! Fingers crossed for a totally-healed Solo Pony after his adjustment. I can totally relate; I always felt SO much better after a good snap-crackle-pop session with the chiro!
    Good vibes to Shiny McRedMan! :-)

  4. Pete cannot understand the tragedy of standing around and eating. Great next plan.

  5. Thanks, y'all. Frizzle, having been to the chiro about 10 times in the last month, I can definitely attest it makes a huge difference, so here's hoping. I just have a bad feeling, but I do hope I am wrong.
