yes, arthramid injection in June - but still lame, at wits end tbh

We had x rays done, but only coffin joint nerve blocked prior to Arthramid injection

Thanks everyone for your advice, all useful stuff. Ultimately, shoes off and see what happens and second opinion re x rays. Pony is a superstar and not ready to be a field ornament.

No scans, just X rays, vet was happy with what they saw- not navicular just what you'd expect from 15 yr old pony. I'm trying to get X rays from vet atm, thanks for you advice- all useful

Yes, wedges stayed on, he does seem to be walking better ie in less discomfort but I'm unhappy re their use long term and what happens when they come off - assuming they must. Coffin joint was blocked five months ago, bump on coronet band etc and Arthramid administered which did nothing. Think...

Vet nerve blocked and diagnosed coffin joint inflammation - after competition on hard ground. Had arthramid injection in the joint and followed vets instructions to the letter- 4 days box rest then half a days turnout in small pen, building it up to longer turnout over a few weeks. The bad...

After having to spend a fortune on X rays, Looking for a consistent farrier for remedial trimming and shoeing . Many thanks

Too clever pony jumped out of field and managed to break top rail of the fence with his knee ( found this out afterwards) , galloped round, sound as a pound, and was ridden afterwards with no apparent ill effects. The following day, he's flat out with a knee like a football, emergency vet...

It would be nice to resolve this I agree.

Don't know?
