     Location: Back in California | I have a 12 year old mare, that has had intermittent lameness for approximately six months. Comes and goes. Super frustrating. Bute, time off, good shoeing, etc. Took her to the vet yesterday, xrays are all good (foot, hock and stifle). No bony issues. Ultrasound of foot tendon,ligaments, soft tissues were normal, but did show mild increased fluid in the navicular bursa. (bursitis). No reason or cause for this though. I asked the vet if it was "navicular syndrome/disease" -- and he told me "NO". Navicular bone is fine. AND navicular disease is usually in the front legs. Super confused and frustrated. No concrete diagnosis. Ive been to 3 vets now and no one can give me a definite answer. Except, stall rest, soft footing, anti-inflammatories. Anyone have any input or similar situation. I would greatly appreciate input. Thanks! |
