Brief history horse had Ks op success but still lame in front . Navicular diagnosed after irap osphos and barefoot huge improvement in last few weeks . He wanted to trot we have only been walking ... Head bobbing lame similar to when he was diagnosed with Ks . When he was lame on front leg head came up in trot . Now head is going down when hind leg is engaged esp when riding, I lunged and videod tonight , he is dragging his right hind but no head bobbing . It hurts as he Broncs after few moments . My first thought is spavin . Had dealings with this with another horse . It seems to make sense as lameness is worse when he tries to engage back end also as I've just started ridden work . I'm almost finding this embarrassing back to vets and insurance company again . 3 years of constant injuries and care he's had splints lacerated his leg to bone it's never ending . Quite honestly I've considered retirement he's 7 but if this is last ailment will be gutted I haven't tried to do this one last treatment . So do any of you feel this sounds like spavin and if so what is latest treatment . I can't face more ops and don't want yo put him through it it's taken months toget his confidence back and he's not Been easy horse . I have called my vet / surgeon who has treated him and he's away for week . At my wits end
