Vet has taken x-rays found nothing, she (the vet) did 2 nerve blocks the other evening nothing, she is coming back to do a few more we ran out of day light! we have ruled out laminitis! farrier had corrective shoes on her we pulled those no dice! I tried massage nothing, everything seems to be in place she is just Dead Lame on the right front leg I mean can hardly walk! she does support weight so that I can clean her feet now! which a few weeks ago she wouldn%26#039;t even give me her left hoof to clean it! she wouldn%26#039;t put weight on the right leg she at least does that now! but she is still extrememly sore!
anyone out there have any ideas on what next to try? I%26#039;m stumped!
HELP!! Got a Lame horse, with a Capital %26quot;L%26quot; been lame since November?
Keep up with the massage. That needs to be done for a while.
Do you have anyone in your area that does TTouch? It%26#039;s Tellington Touch, a good homeopathic training that works with muscle tissue. Try a google search, or ask your vet if they know of any people who they work with for homeopathic care for large animals.
Reply:You can try putting on some type of mud/poultice such as ice tight or a liniment gel such as absorbine veterinarian liniment gel or thermaflex. These will only really help with the soreness and may not be a cure all depending on what%26#039;s really wrong with your mare. Perhaps take her to another vet and have her x-rayed again. Maybe she has a very tiny crack or a bone fragment that the first vet missed. A second opinion might be worth a try and maybe another vet would see something that the other overlooked; it wouldn%26#039;t be the first time that this has happened. Also, you could look into getting an acupuncturist to take a look at your mare too.
