Don't know a huge amount about it but one of our horses has showed signs of it today after being in for two days due to bad weather. his feed was already reduced but obviously not by enough.
He presented with stiffness and discomfort half an hour into exercise, but walked back to the stable reasonably normally.
We have kept him warm and obviously will leave him on hay for a few days, and talk with our equine nutritionist for advice re introducing feed, but any other tips?
We have given him one bute sachet (advised by the vet the last and only previous time he had it) and are keeping him warm. some of his back muscles feel tight, will hand massage harm or help him? (why do these things always happen on Sundays when i don't like to disturb our vet at home
