This week I decided that Armas hind movement was not as it should be.
So booked him in to see the vet at the Cadrenoir.
The vet did some flexion tests hind movements then watched him walk trot and canter.
X-rays of the spine showed no issues. However ultrasound of the pelvis showed a problem in the Sacroiliac (SI) Joint two slight gaps I think. No sign of pain when it was palmated internally. A common problem apparently.
The diagnosis followed with two Injections left & right side of the back
I was told give him light work for the next few days walking and lunging. Then some light ridden work. However it was all in French and am not sure I understood every thing. Has any one had experience with SI injections ? How long do they last ? He said it was not degenerative and the treatment should be very effective.
Still in shock.
