had the vet out last week who after scanning my horse has said she has a constriction of the annular ligament in one of her hind legs. At first he said the only option was surgery which involves cutting the ligament but after checking with another vet at the practice has now said it may be possible to inject the tendon sheath with steriods which will involve a long period of box rest but obviously is not quite as drastic as surgery. He wants to come out this week and give the first lot of injections with another lot 5 weeks later. During this time she will continue to be on box rest and then hopefully I will be able to start walking her out in hand.
Has anyone had experience of this (surgery or injections) and did their horse recover ok and become sound again. I'm so worried about her.
