Thank you i didnt even think about it being anything else thank you for mentioning that. He is loosing a tooth at the moment so it could possibly be that.

I've noticed that Thomas keeps shaking his head and it looks like its his ears that are bothering him as he almost purposly slaps them against his head. He wont let me touch them to look in them properly but from what i can see they look ok and nothings seeping out of them. Im thinking possibly...

same problem as my horse, didnt go for mri as couldnt afford it, vet said it would just show extent of damage, treatment would be the same, he's been lame for 5 months and is slowly getting there with remedial shoes. mri costs around £1500 inc sedation etc x

Sounds similar to mine which has resulted as soft tissue! Its been 4 months and slowly getting there! xx

OOO i can tell you esactly as my boys had this and the bill through... First plate of x ray was £70.00 Following 4 plates were £72 for all 4 Not 100% sure on the cost of sedation as have a list of jabs but the Domosedan Sedation was £18.40 He also had a lameness examination which included...

Max!!

£30 remove shoes and trim £65 full set

Yea thats the plan It was funny watching him trying to get apples out of his water lol! I wonder if they will be there in the morning........

MY previous post: Lame for 2 months suggested MRI cant afford.... SOME GOOD NEWS!! After being unhappy with the yard i was at for a while i finally found him the perfect home and have just started with a new farrier who has given me hope! I have noticed an improvement over the last 2 weeks in...

im so pleased for you! hope my horsey goes on the same road to recovery! xxxxxx

Hey sorry i havnt posted i have been away for a week which was to be honest well needed! The vet nerve blocked him again and found the pain was still in the same place and hadnt got worse and not moved. slightly more pain on the inside than outside. x rays show he has a "spike" on his navicular...

Thank you again for all your help. The vet is now coming on Wednesday for a big chat about it all which will help alot. Im preparing for the worst as its been 2 months with not alot of change. I just find it so hard becos im in the position of not being able to afford it but i want whats best...

Also any idea on MRI costs i thought it was aroun d £1200 and what about cost of corrective shoes? MY horse has had about 14 x rays if there was and really serious damage would it have not shown up on these?

Thank you so much for the quick responses! I gathered a MRI scan would show something that required box rest and special shoes etc and was just wondering if it could show anything that didnt require that. I am insured but it only covers half of the MRI and 20% of the time he stays at the vets...

I bought a 5 year old ex Race horse in Jan who passed vetting flying colours. Turned him out and he came in really lame. Lameness got worse over next day so had vet out. They x rayed, nerve blocked etc. Discovered something in coffin joint region. First thought it was pedal fracture but then...
