I have the vet coming back out to see Ace this morning, after a week on danilon, he hasnt been right since climbing out of his stable about 4 weeks ago, then heat about 3 weeks ago. Left him for 2 weeks, but no real improvement so the vet came out last thursday.
Trotted up and down and he was 2/10 lame, then she did the flexion test and he progressivley got worst :cry: to 4/10 lame. She did a nerve block on the yard, which made no difference at all, so gave me a week of danilon and today is 'D' day.
I really hated seeing him limping, but last couple of days when he has either trotted or cantered over for his dinner, i have been waited for him to limp on it, but he hasnt, i really hope this is a good sign. If there is no improvement he will be off to the vet's for nerve blocks and xray on affected leg, but my only concern is that this all started from him climbing out of the stable so could possibly be back or shoulder problems, oh i dont know! Well wish us luck and will let you all know the outcome x
