Clean Hocks

I took Brego to the vet today to get his annual xrays. Because we compete in a sport not exactly suited to the big guys, I like to make sure I stay on top of any developments. I am happy to report that Brego got a clean bill of health from the vet. He saw nothing that would indicate that the work is too strenuous for Brego's joints. If it was a prepurchase exam, he would pass with flying colors.

Whew, what a relief.

Brego has been very sound (*knock on wood* *sacrifice a chicken*) on the fronts, so I did not get his front feet done this year. Just 8 films of the hocks were spendy enough, thanks.

I have a chiro visit lined up for Tuesday and then we're all systems go to get back into heavy work. Brego is a little sticky on that left hock, but the xrays were clean and I am hoping the chiro can work any kinks out from him favoring it through the winter.

Enjoy the bone pics!
