Sunday, May 24th, brought a couple of minor & much celebrated improvements for the filly. It was the first time in a week that she didn't have yellow, water diarrhea. While not yet a normal manure the soft, grey, dog-like pile brought a huge smile to CMK's face. What a relief to know the Bio-Sponge & probiotics are working. The wraps & splints were off for 4 1/2 hours. With cautious steps Filly was starting to take mechanically correct steps for the first time. Her legs are weak with the tendons lax from the tetracycline treatments, but everyone is so thankful the treatments have worked. Now to strengthen the tendons by short periods of no splints & wraps. After 4 1/2 hours with no support, it was apparent that the time was too long. Filly was quite tired. She is such a good little girl while laying down to have her wraps & splints put back on. Tomorrow the time unsupported will be shortened.
