Ringbone, You Suck.

I'm not as crushed as I was last May when this whole thing started.  So far, I've been kind of numb to it.  Today, his attitude kind of upset me, because I know he's not feeling right.  That definitely hurts more than the thought of having to retire him early.  I just want him to be happy.

I did just send an e-mail to my vet asking about getting radiographs to keep tabs on Gali's ringbone.  He's so inconsistantly lame right now that I'd say he's a Grade .5 - but his attitude tells me it feels worse than it looks.  Or maybe I'm being paranoid.  Either way, x-rays will show me how he's progressing (technically, regressing).  While I'm thinking about it, I thought I'd share his photos from last May.

Left front.  The sound foot.  Nice sidebone, buddy.

Oh!  There ya go.  The unsound right front.

Right front.  Pretty, huh?
