We don't know for sure. 6 different vets have tried to diagnose him and he's a "clinical mix-up". He had an appointment yesterday (7-5-10) and they said they BELIEVE it's an adhesion in his suspensory ligament. But, they don't know for sure. We're treating it with shockwave, which they believe will treat it, and if he doesn't improve... he's probably screwed. They've 100% ruled out basically everything besides that.
How did the shock wave work for your horse? This summer a mare was brought to the farm I'm interning at with a very badly broken navicular bone. She was treated with shock wave, and had a bar shoe on, as soon as the snow started falling we pulled the shoes, she's looking quite good now, though I guess we'll know better in the spring.
Aweeee poor freddy ! ): i hope he gets better soon! i gave him a hug and a peppermint on Thursday after my lesson he looked soo sad )"=..andd good job with the no reins...isn't fun!!!!
thanks! he misses you. he gets shockwave done soon and they said it should take a month or two of recovery but he won't be lame for like a year or anything. he said he COULD be showable by the end of the season but i'm not counting on it. and thanks! it's a lot of fun. i was going to do it bareback but he was spooking a lot that day so i will do it when he starts feeling better. :)
awhwh:( hope he's better now! you look amazing together guys:L

Yep. Many times. He just had his first shockwave therapy treatment today.

So now he's on shockwave therapy and stall rest.

@aznssaywhaat Are the electrodes for increasing circulation in the suspensory?

Is he a saddlebred? I know how sad it is to see a horse go lame. about 5 of my favorite school horses became lame. :(

His right front leg is causing him to be lame. We've been wrapping it with poultice and such to keep it comfy! Thanks. :)

@aznssaywhaat
