OldSchoolCowgirl - 2014-10-29 11:17 PM Here's an update on my horse that got hurt at the vet clinic yesterday: I took him back today and when we unwrapped his knee there was no swelling or tenderness. My vet did a full lameness exam on him, including having him move straight and in large and small circles both ways and he is moving very sound. His urine, however, has been a darker color which can indicate muscle trauma. I will definitely keep an eye on that. My vet gave me a full apology and told me that he has now changed his policy so that no vet tech will ever handle a horse on the weight scale or ANY slippery area (cement, etc.) without someone else (vet, vet assistant, owner) helping to handle and/or steady the horse. He also took care of the expenses of the clean up, wrap, exam of the knee. He is going to do a recheck on my horse in one week and at that time if anything is suspicious he will take care of it. Its seems that so far my vet is doing what he can to make it right, however, I want to be assured that there are no other problems. Also, if something comes up I want to know that he will take care of everything. Next week when my horse goes back for a recheck I will make this clear to him so there are no gray areas. I am hoping that my horse is just fine and we don't have to go any further. Believe me, if I have to I will. This horse means the world to me and it will break my heart if he does end up having a problem. This situation is a huge eye opener for me and I WILL NOT allow a tech to handle my horse without my supervision. Period. Thanks to everyone for your concern for my horse. Continued prayers for him will be greatly appreciated.
