Yes, it is very difficult to tell. But I realise that it is serious now. I was expecting to put it on here and hear that it was laminitis or something that could be cured. So I am going to now unsubscribe from this post and await the vet decision, as it is very upsetting for us now and my family...

No one ha talks about Wobblers. I have read about it though and wondered myself.

He is now on a diet for Laminitis just in case, I have heard that you can get it without any other symptoms, I was hoping it was this. The Bute didn't seem to help but as it was in powder form, I never really thought enough got into him. So he has had Loxicom 3 times which is easier to give to...

My 3 year old miniature Shetland has been very lame for 3/4 months. Several vets have done several checks, ie bloods, x-ray of feet etc and no one has been able to recognise what might be the problem. The next stage would be Liverpool hospital which unfortunately will be thousands of pounds and...
