Vet was all upbeat until the x-rays were done. They took an hour instead of 1/2 hour.

Reason? sudden very drastic (over 8 weeks) changes to the navicular bone lolipops and a very big spur etc and the next layer down is already degenerating.

So Mac gets his pipe and slippers but we have to hope the degeneration slows down or he might not be with us too much longer.

Bugger , I mean really what next.

So sorry to hear this, things are not going well for you. July was like that for me but August has been much better, so I hope that September brings you some good news & happiness.

Hugs

Oh Ali I am so sorry. You really are having the most awful time of it and I truely don't know what to say that could even begin to comfort you, except that we're all thinking of you and hoping that life starts to take an upwards turn. Have a hug hun.

Oh Ali, I nearly missed this news as I don't often come in here.

There's really nothing I can say that will make things better except that at least you know that you have given him every chance possible and at least now you know for definate that it's 'pipe and slippers' time, so no more expensive treatments etc. that have no chance of working.

Lets hope that things don't degenerate too quickly and that he can have a decent retirement with you.

Sending loads of hugs!

Never give up hope as miracles do happen. My pony x-rayed a real doom and gloom story but at the vet hospital where they sent us as a bad case with limited options, they discovered practically nothing. Worth the money simply to find that out! I too have had a really c**p two months on the horse front and things are JUST starting to look up. It's the price we pay for our passion. Here's to a happy September - my thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry, two of my friends horses have just been disagnosed with the same problem. Fingers crossed he can retire happily and you can slow the progression!

Oh Ali, I'm so sorry that things aren't so well with Mac. Seems you both need a big dose of good luck right now.

I hope that he gets his happy retirement, and that things look up for you too soon
