Thanks for your thoughts and advice, it feels like a minefield! I will take a look at Equitopia centre.

Sorry for slow reply, it has been a busy work morning! The suspensories have been scanned, there is a small area of thickening at the top of one but the vet said she didn't think it was enough to cause the issue. X- raying hocks hasn't been mentioned. They are going to use the K4 laser first...

I just wanted to see how your horses were diagnosed with kissing spines. On x-rays my horse has two close spines she is sore to palpitate and her sacroilliac is also painful. 2 week bute trial made no difference. The vet is not suggesting nerve blocking the back to confirm that the spines...

Another one owned by the corporates...

Prascend is meant to be given dissolved in liquid. However depending on how fussy she is being with food she either gets it dissolved in water and then mixed into her feed or in a carrot.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had the most wonderful relationship.

Thanks very much for the information.
