Hi all, posted a few days ago about bunny hopping canter and several helpful folk felt i sounded like PSD rather than the hock arthritis my horse has been diagnoised with. Vet came back today after four weeks of steriods and Tildren for his hocks and he was 100% in his hocks after flexion and trotting up. However the shortness in trot and bunny hopping canter was still evident. After further investigations it is felt that i could be suspensory ligiment damage in the fetlock, as there is swelling in this area. Vet coming to scan next week. Can any one advise on treatment and prognosis. Its in the hind leg :(
