4yo TB gelding just been diagnosed with arthritis of the shoulder, apparently rare and usually found in Shetlands. This is after ridiculous amounts of testing in hospital to try and diagnose bilateral front lameness, which started about 10 weeks ago seemingly for no reason. X-rays also identified KS but i think quite mild and there haven't been any symptoms.
The 2 combined means the prognosis from the vet isn't good. So I just wanted to hear if anyone has any experience of this they could share? Treatment, outcome, prognosis etc.
The horse raced on the flat as a 2yo and since then has been reschooled and happily working in the school, hacking, bit of jumping and dressage but certainly nothing heavy and the lameness came on for no particular reason.
