Hi
Also in NL.
As title says really, I have read quite a few posts where bone scans have not worked just wondered if anyone had any positive experiences where they have been useful as a diagnostic tool.
Basically our TB was showing signs of pain suspected Sacriolac/Pelvic problem, but on lameness work up showed lame in all 4 legs. Vet said if she had to put money on it, it would be sacrum or hock related but as there is so much to look at she thinks a bone scan would work out more cost effective than repeated nerve blocks.
Insurance will not authorise payment without a diagnosis and vet says needs scan to diagnose, so think I will bite the bullet and pay for it myself, but would be grateful for feedback good or bad.
