I was asked for help regarding a friends horse. Below is excerpt of her outline of problem and vet action. I told her that somebody on this form has usually had similar issues and can help. I know leg issues can be varied, but any input would be appreciated.
"having some problems, we had noticed in May he was limping on his back right leg. It seemed tender to the touch but not swollen. We kept a look out and the next week the vet was coming for their yearly checkups by then he was walking very stiffly and slowly. Couldn't detect anything wrong with hoofs, farrier comes every 8 weeks so confirmed not founder. Took blood everything came back normal, no lyme etc. Had him on bute, helped him immensely and also vet put him on glucosamine for a 2 week period which helped and he was back to walking normal, now started all over again. Vet is wondering if JayDee's descendants had this happen. "
