Hi,
I have been having many back problems with my pony which i have posted a few things on here. I just wondered if anyone could give me their experiences/views on the following:
Pony was confirmed to have Kissing Spine in Jan 2013.
Had 3 sessions of shock wave therapy and after 3rd was looking much better so vet suggested getting on board and light hacking.
So got on board and pony would not walk forward comfortably and kept threatening to rear!
Vet suggested Ultra sound to check if anything else was going on with the back.
Had Ultra Sound and all the way from T11 to T16 he has severe ligament damage!
Vet suggested trying PRP (Platen Rich Plasma) injections into the back to see if this speed up the repair of the ligaments. went ahead with injections.
After 7 weeks we are due back for another Ultra sound on Monday to see if there is any improvement. Have attempted very light lunge work a couple of times during these 7 weeks and he has not been happy at all.
So my question really is has anyone experienced anything similar? Should i prepare myself for the fact that the ligaments are not repairing or is there hope?
Thanks for reading.
