Can anyone advise with sizing of the Felix Buhler ones? Would Large be equivalent to Full?

It’s quite usual for joint injections to wear off within a year - I’d remediate with arthramid as you had such positive results before. Cartrophen is great for some but is at a much less concentrated rate than arthramid so it may just not be strong enough. The stiffness the physio found is most...

I’ve followed their journey for years, particularly with him being an Appaloosa I’ve always been a big fan. He was such an amazing horse and an inspiration to many. ❤️

My mare had encysted redworm in her 💩 before I last wormed her. Since worming I’ve seen no worms.

Update: Vet phoned me this evening and his insulin levels were 13 and they are meant to be under 20 and considering he had been out on the grass within two hours of the test and had had his usual morning feed she said that was a very good and safe result, his Cushings test has also come back...

I wish it was wet weather I really do!

I’m hoping so, he looks worse again this morning again because the pain killer injection the vet had given him worn off. He’s had two satchets if Danilon this morning as per vets instructions so hopefully he will feel better more comfortable soon. I’ve got to go to work today but don’t know how...

They are very true to size unless you order the wide fit ones, then I would size down!

Update - so today I went out and he was a lot worse. Pottery in front and reluctant to walk other than slowly and struggling to turn. I got th Vet out immediately - signs were obvious this morning and she confirmed he has Laminitis … in all four feet! 😢 I’m devastated but she thinks we have...

It’s been lovely here for the past two days - grass is definitely growing now. Horses were out naked - and I’ve even left fly rugs on tonight - they aren’t clipped and one is overweight. I was going to put 0g on them but they had been running about just before I went to them and were rather warm...

Do you notice a better result that Danilon/Bute? My boy (27) is hopefully switching to it soon.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same drug form what my Vet was saying? My boy might be moving onto it from Danilon - Vet was saying he would only need one small tablet - same dose as a dog has but it are apparently goes straight to the source of inflammation.

Oh no! 😟 My boy has been galloping around the field this evening 🫣 he didn’t seem to be having too much trouble and was walking fine so it’s definitely not an issue on softer ground. I haven’t brought him in and seen him walk on stones for a couple of days but yesterday there was a little bit of...

Thank you, I might trot mine in the arena for a comparison too. Other horse (Friesian) has a stifle issue so if I could pick your brains with that one too - do you find the mud exacerbates tbe condition with it pulling on the joints? Ours went short recently, he isn’t in work currently but I’m...

Does yours have any sensitivity across the sole? I’m wondering about getting the farrier to remove the pad and see if there’s something trapped underneath. I haven’t brought mine in today and he seems fine walking in the field but he is definitely walking slightly different to usual, almost...
