What you've been waiting for! Ned's Vet Report!

[Shantara]

I changed Vets to Buckinghamshire Vets.

Firstly, he made me trot Ned up and down and up and down (knackered! lol!) and he decided to do a nerve block, as he wasn't 100% where the pain was, even after feeling around and a hyperflexion.

Ned was absolutely fantastic for him he stood nicely while the vet did his thing.

After the nerve block he was trotted up again and he thinks the pain is NOT in his knee or his fetlock, like I was previously told, but in his hoof!!
He'll be back next week for an X-ray.

Thoroughly impressed with this vet hopefully the X-ray will be able to tell us exactly what is going on!

well done.... fingers crossed for next chapter x x

 

[Fjord]

Excellent, good luck for the x rays.

 

[TigerTail]

Thought so - hence why in my pm I said the shoes the last vet had put on may have temporarily improved it

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Well done...I bet its good to know exactly what you are dealing with. Got everything crossed for you xx

 

[AmyMay]

Thanks for the update.

 

[Adopter]

Thanks for up date. Sounds like progress and getting towards knowing what the problem is.

Hope yard move is going OK.

 

[ebonyallen]

Glad that today went ok, and you have now narrowed it down some more. Lets see what next Monday bring with the x rays. Take care .

 

[OldNag]

They are my vets and I really rate them. Fingers crossed for the xrays.

 

[Megibo]

Make sure to tell us what the next visit brings. Glad that you are closer to an answer now !

 

[Shantara]

Thanks guys

He was fab!! (the vet) there was no faffing, no umming and ahhing and he was really informative
He wasn't afraid to nerve block either, when the last vet said she really didn't want to because of how he is. He was perfect today didn't snatch his hoof, didn't fuss or shove what a good hoss!

They're funny, my mare is usually impatient on the ground if you faff too much but when the vet visits she has endless patience and time!! She must fancy him

That is exactly what you want in a vet. The horses' sense it immediately if you have a confident vet and tend to behave themselves. My vet is, imo, one of the best, no nonsense and in nearly 30 years has never got it wrong. I dread it when he can't come out.
Good luck with Ned - at least there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for you x

 

[3Beasties]

Glad you are beginning to get some answers! Well done for getting a second opinion Here's hoping you're back on your Ned soon

 

[Natz88]

Glad to hear you have found a vet that your happy with & Ned is happy with. Good luck for Monday with the X Rays keep us updated. Will have everything crossed for you

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I wonder if the problem will come under the 'navicular syndrome' description?

 

[ester]

really glad you have progress nah .

 

[TandD]

hope its something relatively 'simple' and has a good outcome for you!!!

 

[Neburu]

Fingers crossed for the X-ray next week. Keep us updated.

Barefoot rehab Nah

 

[tankgirl1]

What a relief to have a vet you feel happy with, and who is suggesting a plan of action. I hope it's good news from the xrays!

 

[Persephone]

My horse fancies the vet too

Fingers crossed for the x rays Nah, Vet sounds good

 

[FionaM12]

This sounds like really positive progress at last Nah. fingers crossed for you and Ned.

I'm jealous of how he behaves for the vet. Mollie's terrible for mine although she loves the farrier. She taps his bottom with her nose while he's working. I worry
in case he thinks it's me. :redface3:

Ha we all know its you really

 

[Shantara]

Usually he's a right pig! He almost ran the last vet over, he snatched his hoof away and kept trying to shove her over with his face! Maybe he felt at ease with this vet, he was so calm

 

[lhotse]

Did he say anything about the hind leg?

 

[Shantara]

Did he say anything about the hind leg?

He said he was pretty stiff all over, but the main concern in his hoof

 

[ester]

Barefoot rehab Nah

yeah- you know us foot fetishists are going to want pictures to nosey at too don't you .

 

[stencilface]

Great news

Our normal vets has commented in the past how impeccably behaved ours are to treat, he should have seen the reaction when he sent the young vet out, there was no way our old TB was picking his feet up for her, and once he's got an idea in his head his muleishness won't let it go, I felt a bit sorry for her!
