Have some x-rays of my gelding. One vet says navicular, one vet says no. A little bit of info: He had "changes" on his navicular bone as a yearling and was given Tildren. It was successful. He was futuritied on and is still running 1D today. However, I've noticed he is off lately. We see a bone spur and still see the same 3 lesions/holes he's always had. If anyone on here wants to take a look and give me their opinion I would greatly appreciate it! I can email the x-rays or post on here if I can get the file size small enough.

I would find a vet that does digital X-rays. You can see so much more on digital ones. I had a vet tell me to permenitly retire my good mare after been on temp. retirement for a year so I went to a lameness vet in Texas that is suppose to be one of the best in the country and he said all it was was bone spurs on her navicular bone. There treatable so coffin injections and 3 weeks later she's completely sound.
