Extreme Veteran Posts: 494	So I had ovaries, ulcers, flexion, and teeth ruled out. My mare is still very ****y when using leg pressure, especially left side (trying to bite your foot, swishing tail, pinned ears back). I notice these sort of bumps on her lower abdomen, left side being larger than the right. They are only noticeable at an angle, but I was wondering if this could be a muscle issue or something internal? They are not hard, neither super fluid... kind of in between. Sent pics to my vet also and waiting to hear back Pics attached: Edited by epoh 2016-10-25 5:01 PM

Took to the vet...gave muscle relaxers it did nothing. Got him adjusted, had some ribs out. He got better but it's back again. I think he needs several adjustments, but it's hard to find anyone close enough to do regular appointments. Just had hocks done so hopefully with time that will help. I don't think it's saddle fit, but I do believe it's just his ribs getting sore.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 494	I held off testing for the PSSM, hoping I'd find something else but will have to look into it asap. Yes I could see where she would store fat differently but she's actually very lean to where she's pretty much muscle with a race build
