That’s most untrue and unfair. There is plenty being done. Nobody on here that I know, is a vet. I am doing everything my vet is telling me, the vet I trust implicitly, the vet who has actually trained to do this and who I pay a considerable amount of money to for her expertise.
I posted asking had anyone experience of this and whilst I welcome comments and views I do not welcome the opinion that nothing is being done when I have explained repeatedly what is being done.
I can guarantee he is receiving the best care at this time. I do not know if he is in pain, I said he is acting that way, equally he could be just royally peed off at his sheath constantly being manhandled.
‘We cannot just pop him on Bute as he has hepatitis, the Bute has before triggered an hepatic flare which leads to more fibrosis of his liver. Benefits versus risks always. If for one hot minute i believed he was In dire pain, I would give him pain relief and deal with the rest but for now, my vet and I have agreed not yet.
I genuinely can see where you are coming from but please believe my horse is getting the very best of care. Everything that can be done is being done for now.

I dont understand how you can say this if your vet has not even been out to see him?

In my opening post I state my vet has been out cleaned it and prescribed antibiotics and Bute! I also mention acp rather than sedalin indicating the injectable form given by a vet.
in my other post I state he sees the vet very very regularly.

I'm sorry, I meant that she had not been out since the antibiotics failed, to get a camera up it and find out what was happening.

You say that can't be done because of the virus, but that is not true and it needs doing asap.

I hope you find out what is wrong soon.

He has only just finished the antibiotics. The vet is referring to an internal medicine specialist. There is no point referring if we are not going to await the advice from an expert. My vet is willing to wait and I will be guided by her. How many times have I seen it on here posters saying, what’s the point of getting the vet if you’re not going to listen to them?
I did not mean it can’t be done solely because of the virus,it is a factor in everything these days and delays are being caused regardless. I was trying to keep my op short and to the point rather than giving his life story. As this is so unusual than gaining further insight is valuable. A specialist may have seen/heard of this before. Plus there are the factors regarding sedation. Potentially it could kill him. We need to be 100% certain sedation for camera is imperative and the only way forward. He is genuinely a most complex soul medical wise.
Whilst I appreciate your concern in finding out what is wrong with him I cannot stress enough he is eating, drinking, pooing, peeing - albeit not correctly and all vitals are normal including his liver values.
Many times in life we have to weigh all the sums to get the total, this is one of those times.
