I'm doing some more investigating regarding my youngster.
I have just found out that when she was turned away as a 3/4 Y.O she developed an abscess in one of her back feet which was not detected. It got so big that they had to xray her to find the end of the abscess. It blew out in her coronet band. I dont know how long she had it but possibly a few months.
I'm linking her poor rear end carriage to her possible compensating for the pain in her foot and going badly....and although the abscess is long gone she's still walking incorrectly on it. We cant get to the bottom of her back pain and i'm now thinking its leg pain related to the abscess.
She must have been in agony poor thing- if an abscess is left to fester like that what are the long term consequences? can the poison in the abscess cause degeneration in the foot/leg?
