Do I investigate this horses lameness any more?

My normal vet is a dedidcated equine practise and have been to Liphook for am mri.

How was the sacro iliac injury diagnosed ? It would be a bit scary to tel my vet he was wrong, but I definately asked him about his back as my farrier had found a problem earlier. His back is ok now and even my farrier has checked it. The vet checked it too.

The physio missed it, the vet missed it, I found it. Heat on a line from the point of one hip to the tuber sacrale on the same side, which rose in height compared to the other one as it healed.

So thermal imaging would probaby have found it, do you think?

Definitely. If it had been available at the time I would have gone for it like a shot. As it was, I discovered it just before he was booked to go for a scintigraph at enormous expense!
