There is something wrong with my boy
He has been dragging his hinds for a few days, which I was keeping an eye on because of his history of pelvis problems. Tonight it was even worse, when walking over to me in the field he had to stop and then carry on, he kept trying to roll but couldnt yesterday morning in the field, which I thought was just down to stiffness, but all the pieces are linking together now He is walking very strangely and dragging his right hind in particular along and turning it out slightly, when I run my fingernail over where his pelvis is he seriously dips and rests his back leg, it is worse on his right side.
I have left him in tonight as he hasnt improved with day and night turnout (i just thought he was stiff at first when he dragging his hinds and walking differently for a few days, as he is out of work at the moment due to a naff fitting saddle)
Given him some bute and going to see him in the morning, dont know whether to keep him in or not...Dont know what has happened...The vet is coming out on Monday anyway to vaccinate him but they have been next to useless about his muscle and joint problems, so i think they will just say box rest and bute him up Off to email my physio but I am gutted. Hugs and vibes please! Anyone got any advice?
