This has been suggested as a possibility to treat Dylan's pyramidal disease (sort of low ringbone) to break up the extra bone growth. I wish i'd took a pic of his xray before the vet took it back, but basically, instead of the bone at the top of the pedal bone where it meets the short pastern being rounded, it is pointed.
like this
and so this is catching the tendon/ligament (not sure) as he moves his foot. its not a massive lump but is causing him discomfort. vet is confident he'll be sound enough to be a hack after 6 months rest but if there's a possibility of making him more comfortable its got to be worth a go.
does anyone have any experience of this type of treatment?
thanks
