Vet day / Chiro day

After our last lesson, I  had decided that America was off. I scheduled a vet appointment for this afternoon. I have actually given him probably close to three weeks off of work to just relax. I didn't want to push it and take the chance of injuring him. Since he was off not only in canter (mostly in the canter) but a little in the trot too, it just wasn't worth it to me. I upped  his MSM as well to try and help if there is any inflammation. Which I am pretty sure there is some on the right side of his SI joint.

Well the vet is also a chiropractor. So I am going to see what he can do in that field. I am also going to ask if there is something I need to think into the future about. Whether he needs something extra to prevent him from being uncomfortable. So we shall see!

I was away all last week and finally saw Mr. Derpus yesterday. I missed him so much. I was ridiculous! I am ready for him to feel 100% again though. I also realized that the farrier had scheduled him almost 8 weeks from his last shoeing. No way Jose! Not again. He is overdue! Long and his heels are running under. It's crazy how much happens in the week you are gone!!!

Anyways, here's a Derp, begging from one of his favorite Aunties.


Fingers Crossed!
