pickles....
had vet out for xrays last night, in the continuing saga of pickles behaving like a retard... xrays showed very slight changes to his coffin bones, but nothing to explain the total refusal to cooperate/strange behaviour (he's been bilaterally lame on a circle on concrete) so we decided to have a look
vet is coming back next week to scope for ulcers, so am hoping that shows something, as this is very odd, first we thought it was eye sight as he didn't seem to 'see' things until he tripped over them, but thats fine, feet & hocks show nothing you wouldn't expect in a 10yo,
strange horse, vet & farrier have both said maybe he's thrown the towel in & doesn't want to play, so its all in his head, but after the summer off after hunting last season, & being back in work since august, it seems a little pathetic if he has thrown the towel in, esp when he's been vile since he came back into work, which shows that maybe he hates work, but he never used to, he used to love his hunting, and now doesn't want to know
any suggestions?
