Had the vet out this morning to look again at my young gelding after having a week bute trial because he wasn't right but didn't look lame. Bute made a big difference so he was taken off bute for a couple of days and the vet revisited. After trotting up he is now 2/10th lame on one hind. After the first nerve block he went completely sound. Vets given the diagnosis of PSD, Proximal suspensory desmitis and will confirm for definite after x-rays and more scans as I want him to look at his hock as well just in case. Hes sore in his back and sacroiliac too but thinking thats from over compensating.
Vet suggested if so, its usually either 6 months box rest/in hand walking with 30% chance of returning to work or a operation on both hinds to snip it, not sure what thats called?
He did say not to google or research it as its all negative things on this subject.. but does anyone else have any experience or know a lot about it? He won't box rest for a week let alone weeks, he'd get dangerous, so can't see that option going down well.
