◊◊ DAYS 22-36 Changed Cytowave treatment program to Buck Shins. Lesions on rear legs continue to heal ▶ Swelling and inflammation continue to reduce in size and lymphatic vessels have opened. The cannon bone measures at 10 ½” down from 12 ½”. ▶ Keegan is running in the arena after treatments and for the first time in four years he is cantering. DAYS 37-51 Cytowave treatment program changed to bone fracture. ▶ Reduction in swelling continues which we believe is due to decreasing inflammatory response of the lymphatic vessel. ▶ Folds are decreasing in size and feel softer and more pliable. Nodules are smaller. Emily massages Keegan’s pastern areas which also helps increase the Lymphatic flow and circulation. ▶ Dampness and oily feeling decreases. The area under the feathers feels drier. ▶ Keegan continues to be more active, running and jumping in the lunging arena. DAYS 52-66 Continuing with Bone Fracture treatment based on Keenan’s continued progress. ▶ Nodules and folds continue to decrease in size. ▶ Emily continues to manually massage rear legs and continues to exercise Keegan after treatments, which helps keep the lymphatic vessels and circulation flowing. DAYS 67-81 Emily continued Cytowave Bone Fracture treatments. Due to a heavy summer schedule, the treatments were limited to three (3) per week. Of note, Keegan’s condition stayed the same even after reducing the number of treatments. Swelling and inflammation did not increase, which indicates the quality of healing is substantial. DAYS 81- 95 Based on Keenan’s condition, the three (3) treatments per week are continued. ▶ There is no increase with inflammation and swelling or in the size of the nodules and folds during this period. ▶ Rear legs and cannon bone size remains the same. Note: Keegan is in the Breyer Fest Show in Kentucky and his trainer mentions that Keegan’s control is better than it has been in many years and there is a significant difference in Keegan’s performance. 95 DAYS Emily has started treating Keegan with Cytowave Bone Fracture treatments every day. ▶ To date, Keegan has not relapsed as his treatments continue. ▶ There is no further inflammation, or swelling on Keegan’s legs.
Keegan continues to enjoy his treatments and his energy level is high. VETERINARIAN EVALUATION Dr. Royal visits periodically during treatment sessions. He notes that the swelling and inflammation has drastically reduced. Keegan is in very good health. ▶ Keegan’s HR = 36, RR=18 and Weight is 1400# ▶ His BAR, (Bright, Alert, Responsive), is excellent. ▶ He is sound with little sensitivity in the folds of his legs. “Nodule’s are shrinking because of better Lymph flow. Inflammatory response up the leg is getting better because of decreasing inflammatory response of the lymphatic vessel...From a clinical standpoint, the Cytowave treatment’s are significant.” Dr. Royal Royal Veterinary Service Odon, IN.
