Does anyone have any experience of the following...
9yo TB, been on box rest with shockwave treatments for 2 months after being diagnosed with PSD. He was trotted up 2 weeks ago before the last shockwave treatment and was pretty much sound. On friday the vet came to do his 8 week scan. The horse trotted up lame again on the affected leg. Nerve blocks were done on the proximal suspensory to check this is what was causing the lameness, but there was no real improvement.
Additionally the horse has become super sensitive pretty much all over his body from the elbow backwards, but particularly in the areas I would associate with gastric ulcers. After week 1 of box rest he got cast and twisted his back/pulled a tendon sheath in his lame leg. His back was never 100% after this, but the majority of the current sensitivity is in a different area.
He's not a stressy horse whilst on box rest, and has appeared to take it very well, with only a few minor incidents, and nothing I'm aware of to cause the second lameness.
He is being given a week for the new lameness to settle, before the vet comes back to scan the suspensory and decide on futhur investigations for the other issue.
Anyone have any thoughts about what this may be? I'm a bit stumped
