My horse was lame on his right hind at beginning of feb, had soreness in his back behind saddle and in front of sacroiliac. Tried treating this with physio which although improved it he was still lame. His back was injected with steroids and a muscle relaxant.
He came sound but still wasnt right, vet nerve blocked sacroiliac and then treated it with a muscle relaxant.
He was then sound, brought back into full work gradually, and stayed sound for about 10 weeks.
About two, three weeks ago he didn't look quite right, physio came as was due anyway and said he was lame on rh again. That was last weds, vet came last sat and said he wasnt right on his left hind, not lame just uncomfortable. Wasnt significant, sound in straight line and after flexion.
Vet came again yesterday and was lame on rh again. Vet now thinks he is bilaterally lame and one is showing more than the other at certain times. He is sound in a sttaight line and there is no short stride with the hinds in trot. Vet and physio are not sure what it is, vet has said its a mild lameness which is the hardest ones to figure out. He is not lame enough to block at the moment. He wants me to have him in full work this week and call him as soon as he is any worse and he will come and block the suspensories.
He is not as lame as he was back in feb when it all started. He was 2/10ths in feb.
anyone any experiences?
