So after convincing myself the big youngster was a wobbler, the vet thinks probably not, though not ruling it out totally. We did find lameness on the left hind after flexion though. There was also a very small, hard to detect swelling just below the patella. Maybe some degree of fixation? A weeks bute trial has made no difference, and I can still see hindquarter dipping on a level surface at walk.
Current thinking is let him grow more before starting work, he is out 24/7 anyway. Vet wanted him lungeing for further obs so I'm doing a few minutes a day but dont want to overdo it. He was previously long reining until I convinced myself he was neuro! Experiences of stifle/patella issues in youngsters anyone?
