When Rusty had his stifle problem, could you hear a pop? Snazzy, the QH my daughter leased is having a problem. He was sort of walking on his toes and we could hear a pop sound when backing. She called the vet tech she knows, and she told her to back him, and that pops it back in place. We have given him stall rest for a couple days and he seems better. When I lunged him the other day, the healer was chasing him, and he did a lot of bucking and kicking out at the dog. That probably didn't help either. Oh, and the backing trick, didn't seem to help either.
Thanks:)
No I never noticed a popping sound when his stifle locked. Is what happend is we would be going along and he would suddenly just stop dead, and I'd look down and he would be holding his back leg up and out. Then he would draw it up under him tight, then step off just fine.
I noticed today when he was out running and playing with Harley it did it to him, and he kind of just hopped along, the leg was not bending, it was just stiff.
When I get back from TX I have to get serious about getting him in shape, or get him to the vet.
