Have posted in vet but thought here would get more traffic.
My horse is lame on the right hind. 2/10ths.*
It began about two weeks ago, he started leaning on my right hand which he has never done before, he wasnt lame to start with, last week I didnt ride much due to the weather, when I rode on sat he didn't feel level behind.*
Have had the vet out today, she flexion tested both hinds and was still 2/10ths. On a circle to the left he wasnt stepping through with the right hind in walk but wasn't so bad in trot, barely noticeable. To the right he was obviously uncomfortable and not bringing the right hind through well at all. He has a very localised sore point on his back, it is behind the saddle but in front of the sacroiliac so an unusual place to injure.
I have got to give him 7 days of anti imflammatories to try and help the pain in his back. The vet then wants to re look at him end of next week along with a physio.*
Basically she said it could be something in the leg which has caused the back injury or the other way round, she isn't sure which at the moment.*
Just wondered if any one had any experience or ideas as to what it may be! Bit of a long shot!
