As you can see from my post below, my horse has been diagnosed with BS earlier this year (early stage).
However, I have seen posts on here saying that PSD can often be misdiagnosed as BS. What are the difference in symptoms?
The thing is, my horse seems to still be in the early stage of BS, however, is visibly lame on at least one hind leg. From what I gather, horses with BS normally only go lame at the later stage.
What I have noticed though is that often vets will only look until they find something that could be the cause of the lameness, but might also not be the cause of it at all. And since BS is easier to diagnose than PSD, they seem to stop at that. To be honest, I don't have a very great opinion of vets these days as too many of them have botched up - from the 5* vetting that was just done in a rush, it seems, to a misdiagnosis last year, etc.
So, yes... please could you let me know what the difference in symptoms are - or are there none at all???
