Former client horse contracted lyme a few months after leaving here (2019). Unfortunately the new BO kept convincing HO that horse was just lazy and/or soft footed, so it took a while to get a diagnoses. Horse got very skinny. HO found new barn. Horse recently developed a skin issue. It was soon after vaccinations, so they assumed a vaccine reaction, but he developed pus filled bumps and then started to get sores/loose hair under his leg pits and on his face. Vet thinks it could be lyme related.
For various reasons, HO is finding horse ownership in her new province stressful, and brought up sending him back to me to use in lessons - I told her to think about it for two weeks. I would love to have him though, assuming he isn’t going to be useless. Wondering what I should know about Lyme.
