Hi,
I bought my girl almost a year ago now, she has presented with lameness sporadically for very short periods of time on and off for the last 9 months or so, had the vet give her a once over and couldn't find anything to worry about.
The last week the lameness has been more pronounced so have had the vet out today. She has no swelling/heat/lumps or bumps anywhere and was fine on the flexion tests, but they agreed she is lame and when they had watched me lunge they also said it appeared in both hind legs depending on which rein she was lunged on.
Vet was not sure of the cause so she will be going to the horspital for a few day for nerve block/lameness work ups next week and potentially an MRI.
Feeing a bit blue about it all hate the thought of her being in pain, have had all other avenues checked teeth/tack e.t.c.
Anyone experienced anything similar or can just offer any words of reassurance , worried about her
Also any tips on how to deal with the insurance company would be grateful, never claimed before.
Forgot to mention she has some unusual scarring on her sides coming down from the withers, unfortunately they weren't visible until she lost her winter coat.
Tea and choccie biscuits for all!
