That gives me confidence

Does anyone ever do this themselves or do you leave it always for a vet? I’m aware of all the creams/ lotions etc, but this is quite a knobbly, protruding bit and I’m sure I could slice quite a bit off before getting anywhere near live tissue. But…I’ve never done it before, only watched a vet...

Good grief!

Hi - can anyone please recommend true to size warmblood jump boots? I have a 16.3 chunky Holsteiner and ‘large’ boots never fit him. Bonus points if they come in navy, but at this point I’d be grateful for a comfortable fit.

What is your best treatment for softening SUPER hard and and stubborn mud fever scabs please? Tried Malaseb, coconut oil, bluestone, nothing has worked so far.

Thankyou for asking. Yay! Surgery went like clockwork apparently. 5 processes shaved in the end, not 6. Surgeon was happy with everything. He will be coming home in 6 days. now I’m on a mission to source a physio who can supply me with a rehab program. If poor Ollie has undergone major...

Hi, yes, checking back in on this thread just now because I have dropped off my boy to have 6 processes shaved tomorrow. Feeling sick in my stomach hoping I’ve made the right decision by him. Thanks for asking. I’ll post an update once I know more.

My boy Ollie has regular vet treatments which require ALOT of big needles (Which I hate watching). He acts up and now has to be sedated prior to treatment. One day I couldn’t make the appt and my partner took him instead. My boy didn’t act up at all to the point where they could forego the...

Wow, that‘s a hell of a journey!

Wow, how heartbreaking for some of you and how wonderful for others. I’ll get a bone scan done then for sure. Thankyou for sharing your stories.

Oh oh dear, what a heart rending process for you

Gawd, I think I should definitely NOT watch that, I’d ever have it done then - ignorance is bliss!

I’ve been a bit on the anti-surgery side and so went down the non-surgical rehab route - which for the past 2 years has been working brilliantly. All of a sudden the symptoms have returned ? I’m devastated. My bio mechanical vet confirms the issue is his KS. I can’t imagine retiring him, he’s...

Ooh Thankyou, they do look lovely
