I hope that the vet is being really cautious!!! Big ((((hugs))) to you and masses of (((((healing vibes)))))) for Dizzy.

Did the vet say what has happened to her pelvis? Is it out of line/unlevel?, and is it because the muscle structure won't hold it in place, after having time off work??

Sorry for all the questions, you must be feeling sh*t atm. I'm still crossing everything for you x
 
Oh god no. I'm praying for you that your vet is being over cautious.
I don't know about her history so what does the vet think?
I am so so sorry for you. You must be feeling awful and theres not a lot any of us can say to make you feel better other than to say we are thinking of you. I went to hell and back with Sid so many times so I can only begin to know what you're feeling.
Hugs and healing vibes to Dizzy.
Thinking of you both with everything crossed

If its a fractured pelvis, other than not being able to ride for a few months and having a fairly stric box rest routine for a couple of weeks, its not the end of the world. Personally I know of one horse who fractured his pelvis last year when another horse collided with him on the gallops. He is actually permanently disfgured as it was one of the worst types of pelvis fx - multiple fx lines and rotated and displaced. However he was off the track for just 6mths and has run over 15times since last summer with numerous wins in good company. If it is a fracture it doesnt necessarily mean he will be limited in the future. Also other than box rest (and keeping the horse standing only for a few weeks) there isnt a lot can be done so it is a waiting game - but at least theres no costly surgery involved.

If its sacroiliac, again time and patience along with some of the supplemtary therapies like physio and pulse therapies can make the world of difference. Fingers crossed for you anyway.
 
oh no, I'm so sorry I do hope it's something they can sort out, I have my fingers crossed for you and pray that you get some good news.

<<<vibes>>> for Dizzy & (((hugs))) for you
 
Please try stay positive. My mare had a hairline fracture of her pelvis last summer, no idea how she did it. Was diagnosed by scintigraphy (nuclear bone scan) and treated with 2 weeks box rest and 3 months field rest, then gradually back into work.

She was 15 at the time and is now back fit and well and doing ODEs at Intro level with me.

She is still slightly wonky but this has been checked and is definitely mechanical rather than pain related.

Fingers crossed your's is something similar and it can be fixed. (I think she's younger too? If so, even better as young bones will heal better)
 
So sorry to be reading this Mrs M if there is anything I can do to help just pm me or give me a call. Hugs hugs to you and Dizzy x
 
Oh No!
I just hope your vet is as pessimistic as mine, glass always half empty. I hope your glass will be full.
Chin up and positive vibes.
 
Oh dear MrsM. ((((hugs))))

given her history though I would suspect that your vet would prefer to get her checked out fully straight away rather than miss it. so vet might just be being careful.
 
Sorry to hear this after you had been doing so well together.

Everything crossed that your vet is looking at the worst case scenario and when you get to Newmarket it is better news.
 
Thank you all. I'm using an iPhone so limited ability.

I should have said, sorry: Dizzy has bony irregularities in her pelvis joint, her compensatory action put stress on her hind suspensory ligaments (secondary damage/issue).

Due to the make up of the pelvis the irregularities cannot be 'fixed'. The specialist expected Dizz to go lame, when she didn't we thought we were spared the worst. There is nothing in the way of treatments/therapies, etc. that will help her. Wejusthad our fingers crossed. She's been rio
Eden so gently to build up her fitness and strength in the hope that she was going to be ok.

My vet is almost 100% certain that it is the same pelvis issue, but wants investigation to confirm.

Husband, who loves her almost as much as I do, has asked if she can be a field ornament. It's not looking hopeful.

I'm hoping she can go to Sye Dyson at the AHT: I trust her implicitly to be thorough and candid.
 
I am sorry Mrs M.
Just thinking of you and Diz, if there is anything I can do Pm me.
Even if its to come down and havea ride on my boy or anything at all.
Hugs xxxx

Have got everything crosses that your vet is being gloomy and things are not as bad as feared

When does she go to Newmarket?

(((hugs))) for you hunni and <<<vibes>>> for Dizzy
 
I really hope you have some good news.You were very supportive when I was going through bad time with Ollie and if there is anything I can do other than wish you lots of luck just ask.
Heard brilliant things about Sue Dyson so she will be in good hands.
