Following on from my other thread we did manage to get her still enough for the 8 x rays and vet has phoned me with results...
May has significant arthritic changes on her front right leg in her coffin joint, pastern bone and joint and even her pedal bone since her xrays last July and side bone (?) on her left front..
Vet recommended that as the most significant changes are in the right coffin joint it would be worth injecting her with steroids and HA to see if it would help and make her more comfortable,
Sounds like a good idea, i know they don't always work but think I should try it and find out if it does in our case, my vet said she could do it in the field or i could go to a clinic but that would be quite difficult - what do you guys that have had them done do? What can i expect?
