My gelding is 5 years out from a unilateral neurectomy. Recovery was 2 weeks stall rest, 2 weeks hand-walking, and 2 weeks small paddock turnout. my only regret was waiting as long as I did. He was able to teach me through third level once recovered.

Bumping this thread up. @Marshfield how’s your horse doing now? I’m at the “neurectomy or euthanize” crossroads, pending an MRI.

He passed away at the age of 25 in his sleep. Presumed cancer diagnosis, was giving him the summer to enjoy before saying goodbye. He died in 2012, sound, seven years after his surgery

I’m sorry to hear of his passing, but glad he was able to enjoy several sound, happy years.

Just a quick update. It has been a month and a few days. I rode my horse on Tuesday walk trot! It was like the first day I bought him home … years ago! I am thrilled with his movement. Sound as can be, happy, floating trot… he knows where his kickers are!

This was the best thing I have ever done for him.

I wish everyone the same success with thier horses!

One question, AndNirina, why did the vet inject the nerve endings? Just curious.

@Ozone how is your horse doing all this time later?
