Got an email last night to say the vet has agreed to a prascend trial for Jess, it should be here tomorrow.
I think I'm going the right route, they have been shut in the 2 small corral's and the little bit in between since last week, probably a total area of 20m2. Yesterday at 4pm jess had no pulses and walked out slightly lame when I put them on the track but it wasn't every step. By 8pm she was sound (trotted her up on the road) but had slightly raised pulses.
The vet agrees there is probably more than one thing going on, but warned me the drug trial might be a waste of time/money, which I accept it may be but at least it rules that out for me if it is and its less risk and cheaper then doing the other tests anyway.
Jess was just plonked on 1 tab a day last time and had no side effects, but I'm thinking to be on the cautious side I might start with half then up her after a few days or perhaps do half morning and evening, I'm really crossing everything we get an improvement, it would answer so many questions.
