Hi there,
My horse went lame almost a year ago. Long story short and thousands of dollars later we kind of have the diagnosis.
He appears to have an abnormal bone growth in his fetlock that appears on Xray.
We have done HA injections, 4 injection rounds of IRAP, and previcox. ( Stall rest etc……)
Nothing really helped. At this time my vet told me my options are slim and he will not be a rideable horse.
This has been 100% soul crushing as this horse is my soul horse. He is so amazing and has the best mind. He had so much potential and i loved more than life working with him and brining him along.
Currently he is just living life in a pasture by himself. He has horses next to him but his life has also been flipped upside down.
I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or has seen this before?
I can’t bring myself to accept that this is it.
He is my only horse and i will never rehome him, but i want him to enjoy life and be comfortable.
Thank you.
Below is a link to his crappy quality xray photos.
