Having the vet out for a horse that started headshaking about a month ago. What questions should I ask? What should I make sure is checked? With headshaking being not super common, I want to make sure we cover all bases.
So far I have:
Eyes
Ears
Nose
Teeth
TMJ
Poll
Neck
Allergies (i believe this is the likeliest cause)
What treatments should I ask about? I have seen mention of Cypro and dex here for allergy related headshaking.
Horse is already on the MSM and Lysine. This combo seems to help as horse has stopped headshaking except when being handled, mostly once riding or lunging. However, horse needs more “help” or treatment to get to where they are trainable when being ridden.
