This is the xray from the report from my vets... I didn't even realise it was at the bottom of the report until my OH pointed it out! Just for information if anyone is interested really:

We are set to travel to RVC tomorrow afternoon and then pick up will be either Thursday evening but more than likely Friday morning (due to the general anesthetic and making sure he is eating/ drinking etc.).

The vets here are reporting masses of cases of C5/6 issues, and i have a friend who has recently got LoU due to it on her horse. And of course my own recently was C4/5, 5/6 and 6/7. I'm so sorry it wasn't something more easily fixable.

Unfortunately (I never learn!) I didn't get LoU on my insurance for J. Oh well... live and never learn, but he is my last anyway so no need to get another!

I've been told "its very common" by lots of people on the yard, but I'm waiting to see what the CT shows really as that's when we will get a clearer picture. I have a rehab specialist, physio, chiro, red light therapist and acupuncturist on standby!

He is up and awake and all images have been sent to my vet to look at and report on.

I'm picking him up tonight (M25 in rush hour, using the Dartford crossing.... fun times!).

My vet have advised 48/72 hours before I get a report which is super frustrating as that will be Monday at the earliest. Surely they could call me to talk me through the results, the same as they would do if I had taken him in there for the CT.

sometimes the delay is because scans need to be read by a radiologist. same if you have one in hospital yourself, there's sometimes a delay depending on the availability of a specialist being around to look at the images and write the report. I would imagine that's a contributory factor.

Doesn't help the frustration I'm afraid and the very rude receptionist who didn't seem to care.

They are often read by independent specialists who don’t work on site too in my experience.

They are read on site as they are a referral practice (the only reason he was sent to RVC was because the CT they have isn't big enough to do his lower neck). We will see I guess.

Its just the not knowing at the minute. Its almost like we are so close, but just nowehere near. Very frustrating. I'm sure they aren't doing it on purpose so will just wait and see what they say.
