The vet came today.... there were bone fragments in Jeep's shoulder... but he couldn't tell what kind they were.. so we have to take him to a clinic.. the one that CC died at.. to get X-rayed because his portable X-ray machine couldn't get through all the muscles in the shoulder..
If the X-ray shows:
1) Bone chips- we can take him home and the vet can cut open the wound and pull them out..
2)Spiral Fracture- Jeep would need pinned and plated.. it would cost up to like $3000.. no guarantees that he could get better.. he might always be in pain.. and the vet said for how old he is.. and stuff.. He wouldn't put Jeep through all that pain.. cause he's such a good horse.
