Is it worth nerve blocking??

[sjdress]

My horse has very slight lameness in right hind, not obviously lame to the eye, prob only 1/10. She had her fetlock injected but this has not made a difference. (Injected as she had a past op on fetlock so history suggested arthritic changes). So now vets and I have discussed bringing her in for nerve blocking and X-ray. However if she is not showing as very lame is the nerve blocking going to show anything??

Yes, the vets will be able to pinpoint and hopefully treat the area that is starting to degenerate.

Nerve blocking can be very hit and miss especially when its subtle lameness....
