Talked to the vet today, apparently there is only a 60% chance of full healing......yuck!

Really? Did he say why?? I would be all over him for details.
Miracles hapen all the time! :cloud9: :hug: :jingles: :rose:

Apparently the tendon sheath may be involved...and that makes an increased risk of adhesions.....sigh

Just an FYI. Years ago I has a mare who got caight in downed electric wire and severed her tendon on her hind leg. I was not about to give up, I had an awesome vet at the time, and after some soul searching he decided to treat for infection, stitch the leg up and bandage it. we turned her out and other than cleaning the outside would did nothing for a year.
She healed! totally! He was a believer. It was a very clean cut and he felt the two pieces would seek themselves out. IT was a tiny miracle!
Mother nature at work. PRaying that your boy will pull through! :jingles: :luck:
