And I don't think that you're being overly dramatic at all- fear is natural when you love someone/something that much & you don't want them to be in any type of pain, no matter how mild. That said, I'm the person that's convinced her horse is on her last legs when she stocks up a bit... even though she's 100% sound and perky... so I'm probably not the best judge of crazy ;)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197789181776030907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-30213840661880669292013-03-12T14:53:37.988-06:002013-03-12T14:53:37.988-06:00That is scary.

As far as the bloodwork goes, they have exertional rhabdomyolysis screens to see how the muscle function is doing. I was always told to give her a week off before picking things up slowly again. But at the track, they seem to do things differently and implement hand walking. I again was told to not move her, and to just turn her out if I could so she could move at her own pace. I started her on tye-by and the only time she ever ties up is when she is not on it. Just my two-cents!

I know that when Macy tied up, there was a series of bloodwork that indicated the level of chemical in her blood and when it was safe to go back to work, since tying up once makes it more likely to happen again if you work too soon ... I think.

THANK GOODNESS it was "just" a mild episode of tying up. Poor dude, and poor you! I know you were sick with worry - I would have been too!<br /><br />Red did that once after a foxhunt - we gave him muscle relaxers and added some... uh... vitamin E? to his diet. It was a while ago, I'd have to go find my post on it. But I know there's a supplement that supposedly helps. jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.com
