After going through hell with my beloved mare and loosing her, now my boy has developed issues.


He is testing positive with both hocks and less movement with near fetlock.

Just had back done and Anthony confirmed what the vet said. I know there are some out there who don;t give a rats about me but equally. I have made good friends through Diamonds Journey.


Famous H&H vibes please :(:(:(:(:(:(
 
Oh no...........:-(((((((((((((((((((

I'm so sorry, that's crappy luck and after all you went through :-((( fingers crossed things might not be as bad as they look now...

Vibes deputy floating your way x
 
Well we did a sponsored ride in April and he was amazing, a week later ( at the same sponsored ride his mum went sour due to lami) he was lethargic etc.

Since then he has been off colour and knuckling over on the lunge, not himself.

Physio today backed up vets comment, we are going to give him a bute 1o day trial.
sorry not very clear but shows a little

 
Not sure what your history is and not interested in HHO politics but it sounds like you have been through a rough time and wanted to send you good vibes for whatever you are facing this time.
 
Got Anthony Webber out and he confirmed what the vet said he was testing positive in hi hind legs.

:( He said there was less movement in the near fetlock than the off one.

Today he went for a pee while waiting for me to come out from leveling the school. Instructress said he did not bend as much in the near hind, then there was a crack and it bent better and while schooling he was stiff at first then got better.


So danilon trial then vet hopefully to do a nerve block Wednesday. Then maybe HA injections


I can't take much more I really can't:(:(:(:(
 
still no confirmed issue

hock blocks
fetlock blocks
nerve blocks a lot of issues and no diagnoses yet, frustration nothing is simple with horses.
 
Oh gosh only just read this Leviathan- so very sorry. What a worry! Has he ever been on any joint supplement? That's probably a silly obvious question, but I know I notice the difference when I have either a) changed supplements or b) thought that the horse would be fine without the supplement particularly in the warmer weather. Is the vet thinking changes in the joint?

Sending huge good vibes for him <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Oh Lord Leviathan...I am so sorry.

Sending huge vibes and hoping it is something that can be swiftly sorted out for you both.

yas yes he is on flexi joint, has been on it 1 year now.




flexion test showed lame 3 legs, only mildly though. Today he was was worst on the other leg. We think now its just above fetlock area to just below. 2 Vet visits and another on wed.:( I still not recovered from his mums vet bills. Vet said I could ride , but it feels wrong when I do not know the problem.

So far we blocked hock near hind and
fetlock
and the hoof.

The hoof showed more comfort, today worst on the off hind poss to flextion test, nerve block back of tendon and the off hind. So what ever the prob is its both hind legs the same area.

Worry about fore leg later, even though a pulse ands some warmth his hooves are no warmer than the others in this weather.
