Hi,
I posted a few weeks ago about my horse not being able to stand, when front legs being lifted.
Well he had a bone scan last week and the only thing that showed was he's liver, which as you all know shouldn't as its not bone.
The vet said it glowed up like a Xmas tree & they had to re xray he's back as you couldn't see on bone scan because of liver.
We went ahead and scanned liver but my horse is thick skinned/big and said they couldn't get a picture.
Bloods show raised liver enzymes but thats all I know.
My horse is getting worse and now if you pick up front his whole body will start shaking & he will go down on knee.
( I've now given up picking out feet )
Vets is not hundred % sure the liver is the reason my horse cant hold front legs up.
So has anyone ever had a horse with liver problems that didn't want to hold legs up.
We are re doing bloods in 2 weeks.
Feeling sad seeing my boy like this.
Wish horses could talk !!!
Xx
