I have a 17yo horse who was diagnosed with KS 2 years ago after losing a lot of condition and napping under saddle. He had injections, shockwave, and extensive rehab, and has been in work (Ele dressage) since. However, after a series of other veterinary mishaps this year, he recently lost his 'engine' and showed reactivity when being saddled, so he was x-rayed again. He's had the affected area and the SI injected, and is on muscle relaxants, but still very averse to being saddled. He's booked for a gastroscope, but also had a course of omeprazole earlier in the year which yielded only about 40% improvement, so I feel that ulcers are secondary, if he has them.
Does anyone have any opinions on the apparent 'floating' bit of bone to the left of this xray?
He owes me nothing and will be retired if need be, but the vet is very keen that we keep him in work and strengthen his core. 3 different vets have commented that he's actually very sound, and remarkably good on flexions for his age. He is not insured, so money is a consideration - I've spent thousands this year already.
