Re: Depressed Filly
I've only just read this is she any better yet?
I remembered when my sister had a jumping pony he went like this for a while. Just suddenly started doing it. The vet said he was fine. The vets daughter also had horses on the yard. They dropped the girl of and came to find me one day. We went to Barney's stable and looked carefully at the wall. Sure enough there were kick marks in the brick work with scrape marks that my sister had not noticed.
The vet had spoken to her father who was a retired vet he had suggested that Barney had become cast in the night and in his panic to get up had banged his head on the wall. There were no marks on his head but it was winter and he was not clipped so had a big thick coat to protect him.
The diagnosis? He had one almighty head ache. The vet gave him an injection of pain killers and he was soon back to his normal slightly crazy self.
