Hi, my horse has to go for a bone scan. I know he has kissing spine (pretty badly) and various hock problems though not lame. He may have sacroilliac problems I am suspecting and possibly a miriad of others! I was thinking of Rossdales as I have been there too often already with various horses, but was also considering the Royal Veterinary college at Hatfield. Can anyone recommend either of these or any alternatives? Thanks.

This is also in New Lounge.
 
I would also consider Sue Dyson at AHT in Newmarket. World expert on sacroiliac problems. Will be picking my boy up from there this afternoon having finally been diagnosed by Sue with sacroiliac issues. Poor prognosis, but we're giving him a go at rehab for a few months before making any drastic decisions...... :(
 
I have been to Sue Dyson before with a different horse that she was unable to diagnose. I have heard that she does mesotherapy for KS though which may be the way to go if he is unoperable. I don't think she does the KS surgery. Could be wrong there though.

I hope your boy pulls through. It is such a worry.
