my horse went for bone scanning today. previous x rays have proved clear. no response to nerve blocking from fetlock down. he went to a specialist to get the bone scanning done and a dignosis. the specilaist has come back and said the bone scan is pretty much clear. the only area of concern is around the fetlock of the leg he is lame on. he said there seems to be a thickening of the bone which to him indicates suspensory ligament damage. he's going to do some more nerve blocking a bit further up and some other tests but he doesnt think its too serious and with a bit of rest should return to full work. i've searched on the internet and some of the responses look very serious. what are your thoughts/expierances?
