Hi All,
My mare got diagnosed with mild lami in may 2012. She recovered well and has spent all winter and the start of spring out in the field during the day unmuzzled. We switched tot he summer field on the 1st may. She went out at night and everyother she was muzzled (so she had 2 nights muzzled and 2 unmuzzled) she came in on sunday morn lame in trot.
It is now Friday and she is just the same. She has been kept in on hay and no grass.Slight pule in one front leg (the lame one) sound in walk but lame in trot, better on a soft surface. Called the vet and he said its her lami again and she will come sound in 7-10 days. The farrier has also been up and said the same.
However there is something in my gut that says its not lami, she had no warning signs, no bounding pulse, no cresty neck, no shallow breathing or sweating and she is of a good weight (slightly under).
If she is no better after the weekend i am going to get the vet out but i just feel that no one is listening and they just say its her lami because she has had it before.
Does anybody have any other ideas as to what could be causing her lameness?
