Red comes home tomorrow after a week of tests for hind limb lameness. It’s cost me a small fortune (though less than my insurance premiums plus excess), I’ve not slept much and have no nails BUT I have answers. She has thickening of the left hind medial branch of the suspensory and likely similar issue on left forelimb (to be confirmed this afternoon after scan) - blocks have ruled out foot. Low grade so thickening no holes etc. I am expecting a full and conservative rehab plan (shock wave apparently not that helpful for branch injuries) but prognosis is overall good. Given I was told I was likely looking at PSD mid last week I am feeling positive. Lots of things discounted following bone scan, pelvis x rays, fetlock x rays, blocking of both left limbs. Lots of rest and then walkies to come!
