I have read from other owners that a bone scan is not useful for identifying SI issues but not sure if this is correct ?
Horse has been bucking in arena and vet found sacroilliac area to be tight and tender. History of hind suspensory injury but has been sound for 2yrs and doesn't present as being lame now - although maybe 1/10th on one rein of lunge. Hocks also medicated about 18mths ago so likely to have won off now.
Question is could the hocks/ suspensories be the cause of SI pain or is SI a totally separate issue ? Bone scan is an option and would be useful for hind end but possibly not SI ?
Or do I go with blocking/ medicating SI and possibly hocks again ? Agh !!! what order do I look at first ???
