One of our horses (mare, 4 yrs old, draft/tb), Fiona, lost her back end and is wobbling all over the place. She was perfectly fine yesterday, and today my sister rode her and was fine for a couple minutes and then her backend gave out. She started 10 min or so into the ride. She was crossing over, trying to stay up, always falling to the right.
The vet came out and gave steriods. She did have a vaccination yesterday, and we are hoping for the best- an inflammation reaction in the spine, but the vet says possible but unlikely.
Fiona is falling all over the place, but is in no pain, her front end works fine, and has no nuerological signs. She is in a stall and very pissed about it- her normal behavior.Everything is normal- except her backend.
Do you know of anything like this? Could it be wobbles (I thought that was an all body thing)? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. We do not want to have to put this young mare down.
