    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    I thought I would post an update. We moved house and along with that yards as it’s a new area for us. Which is good because mid December he has his SI injected. Life kept us busy so we didn’t dwell as much. Vet and physio wanted him really strong before my daughter was able to sit on him. He...

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    That Thankyou. If he can hack at least we will be happy as my younger daughter will ride him. anything more than that would be amazing. I have already started a savings fund this past few weeks incase he doesn’t come anywhere near what we hope even for a short time. But we will see. Great to...

    thanks. I’m going to bring it up. It wouldn’t hurt to scope based on what I’m seeing.

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    I do wonder if the surface is giving us some indication as he’s happy on the hard ground. I will have a chat today with the vet as he’s clearly telling us something …. But what ?

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    No his back isn’t sore. He’s had the vet check following treatment the day before given the green light to go. He’s not lame, he’s moving correctly and any soreness in his back has gone. Absolutely no clinical outward signs of any reason to be concerned. His saddles are fitted regular and was...

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    Thankyou. Yes I agree. After I wrote that above I thought it’s safer to stick to in hand and I had thought I would see what the vet thinks re - ulcers. He’s been through a lot and he’s a stressy horse internally.

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    Well I’m back ! Horse had further hock steroids. He’s had his back done with the electro pulse thing by the vet. He’s had physio who also found the soreness but nothing horrific that wasn’t easily worked out. he was an absolute terror for the medication! Infact we nearly gave up! A week of box...

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    Thankyou. I have made it very clear that as much bad we love him and we will do our absolute best for him, we will not let him suffer. Hopefully will be able to post a positive outcome but not holding my breath

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    Little update. The vet has been today and she’s actually thinking it’s his hock causing the issue. Based on what we know so far and what we have seen. We have some options at least. He’s having steroids again next week . And we can look at gel /stem cel if needed. I might as well go with the...

Physio has seen videos whilst waiting vet and appt. said both hinds clearly not right and in light of his behaviour needs vet. Just thinking the worse...

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    he wasn’t scanned. He had X-rays of legs but I don’t believe anything was scanned. But I presume this diagnosis puts more pressure on everything as a whole. I’m calling the vet when they open so maybe she will look at this.

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    I wonder if he has, as he has a strange almost bone concave feel to the effected side of his pelvis but it doesn’t seem new. He’s always swung to the right a little. Lots of ‘maybes’. But none of them matter now. My plan is vet this week, physio is still coming next and go from there. But speak...

    Sacro iliac / mild arthritis

    Thankyou. It’s very difficult because he is actually my 14 year old daughters horse. We bought him just before covid having done his last be100. He was her dream horse to step up on. He was only lightly competed BE. Same home all his life. Hacked loads and pony club type horse. He was as fit as...
