Yes, I saw that. Not sure what "edema" in a bone is, but at least the poor thing doesn't have to go through the competition circuit any more. Hopefully a happy life in the breeding shed awaits.
Cortez, I think the official diagnosis for Toto was periostitis, which is pain and inflammation of the periosteum, the connective tissue layer on the outside of the bone. If due to infection, this can also lead to swelling of the actual bone istelf, and may be a symptom of osteomyelitis.
sadly, i know people that have worked in the PSI breeding sheds, and happy retirement it aint........
crying shame for an amazing horse.
Turning horses like this out in a field is just not going to work
But isn't that intensely depressing in itself??
Look, it's all very well to impose your own desires and impressions of what a perfect life for horses is
