My horse is on his way to have his bone scan tomorrow, I suspect kissing spine and SI injury, his symptons are right hind dropped and lame making his pelvis look completley out, and is lacking muscle around the right hind, the left side is nice and round and firm whilst the left is very spongy, he is also dragging his right hoof whilst in walk and trot gait and dragging both going down hill, his neck was so tight that the phsyio said she had never seen anything like it in all the years she had been qualified, he is stiff over his back and when touched around the sacaral area his back spasms... we have given him bute and no improvement was seen along with his hocks xrayed which came up with mild changes in the right but this could be down to him compensating and not using the hind as he should.. I have read and read and read as much as possible on what the possiblilites could be, and the fear I may lose him.
Can anyone help as vet hasn't given much away in what she may think it is other than he has a lot of little issues going on .... when I asked could it be kissing spine she said possibly.. :L
