Hi, This is a very hard decision as my boy is only 12 but as he is not happy being ridden and vets can't work out why?! I've decided it's best for me to retire him. Does anyone know of any retirement livery in Braintree, Chelmsford or Dunmow areas. Must have stabling overnight at winter...

the rash has gone down and no one knew what i could have been ... so still unsure on that front.... his blood results have gone down slightly but still way higher than they should be ... he is looking slightly better but still not my horse ...... does anyone have an idea what to do next with him...

that is very intresting this may be the same thing ... my vet is coming out soon so i will get him to have a look at him and see what he things about it all... thankyou for all your help and advice :)

where he has been clipped to have his biopsy he has come up with loads of bumps under the skin but they are only on one side of his body and i can only see/feel them on the shaved part :/ does anyone know what this can be or have ever seen any horse with this before ?? please let me know if you...

thankyou Amos for the info... he just had another blood test and although some results went down others have gone up sicnificatanly... he too looks fine in himself (other than the dopey eyes) ... he does tire very quickly however ...hhe is on his third lot of medication and the vets can still...

thankyou for all your advice and info. His next blood test is this week so will wait for the reaults to see if the antibiotics are working and depending on those will speak to the vet about the diet he is on, as my vet knows what he's on and has not yet mentioned it i am not too concerened about...

they are thinking it could possibly be a gut infection which has now attacked the liver and so is on antibiotics to try to kill the infection (if there is one! ) ... my vet is not enterially sure it is this though as he is showing no other sigsn of problem with his gut. Has anyone else ever...

my vet has not told me to change his diet so for now i will follow what he says as he knows the horse... but thankyou for all your advice, should he detriate anymore i will speak to the vet about his diet. thankyou

The results came back but they don't know what it is, but whatever it is has been and is still affecting his liver.. they have thought it could possibly be a infection somewhere else in the body but not sure. he is on antibiotics and will be blood tested in a couple of weeks time to check if he...

The results of his biopsy were meant to be back the day after he had it done but its been 4 days now and still no results :/ he is looking ok, a little glum but not too bad... the only thing that does worry me is that whenever i put him back in his box he rubs himself all over the walls and...

thankyou for all your comments. For the moment he is on his normal diet along with milkthistle and heptasile. We are just waiting for the results of his biopsy, he is starting to look a bit glum and miserable though, not sure if this is to do with his liver or whether its just the weather and...

Thankyou for your advice. We should find out the results of his biopsy soon.

My horse has just had a blood test which showed raised liver enzymes, he then had a liver function test as a result of the blood test which also turned out not to be good. He is now having a liver biposy and i just wondered if anyone had a horse with the same thing and had had a liver biopsy and...
