Location: Kansas		Jan 26 we had a heading horse come in 3 legged lame from being turned out after we had a somewhat of a snow storm the day before. Not a lot of snow on the ground but some. He came in not being able to move his right front leg basically looked as if it was in the shoulder. Went to rubbing him down with dmso gel and started on 2 grams of bute and stall rest. Vet came and looked as if he had a possible abcess starting. Treated for that for 3 days and nothing, but still lame. Went and had X-rays done from the shoulder down and no fractures or chips. Vet leaving this as "soft tissue" injury. Leaving him in his pen and hand walking, along with applying a sweat over his pastern area and started on Previcox along with doing BOT Quick Wraps.  Seeing somewhat improvement then on March 6 there was more improvement when we went for a follow up. been turned out since then, no longer head bobbing lame but choppy in the front end and will not extend over when crossing over. We did just have him shod and have kept him trimmed.  There has been no heat/swelling.. 
Does he just need more time?  Have had him chiro'd and he has adjusted well.
Ideas appreciated..

Location: SW MO		Did you ultrasound or do you have the ability to have one done so that you can locate the injury?
