Please put my mind at rest!!
***I am calling the vet first thing tomorrow to book an appointment***
Long story - will cut as short as poss!
When I first got my horse he got diagnosed with a locking stifle put as vet said put some weight and muscle on him and it should go, it did!
Fast forward over 2 years and he has started to get tight in his back end, very stiff and unlevel on both back legs. He had chiro four weeks ago so I booked again for tonight. He is tight through all his back and shoulders, he also has a lump at the top of the rib cage under the longus (?) muscle.
Anyway chiro thinks the tightness through his back/shoulders/neck is secondary to something else - she thinks stifle on both sides
He often stands funny behind like he is tightrope walking and drags his toes (this has also got worse recently).
I tried to get vets tonight but they had closed by the time chiro left, so will ring them first thing and make an appointment but need some peace of mind now.
Please share your stifle experiences with me and please give me some reassurance as at the moment I am panicking and very worried about my boy
