Thank you for the explanations of PSD. And yes, sounds horrible! I don't know what my mare has, other than her hind suspensory ligaments are chronically damaged (at just four years old in light work!), but we went through something similar to you I think. Tig's pelvis goes asymetrical and she loses the muscle on the top of the off-quarter. McTimmony back lady has managed to put it back twice: then we did lots of short punchy work to build the muscle, but three weeks off work and the muscle has gone again. Back lady said it should not keep going out and muscle should not disappear like that. Our vet recommended a bigger practice so off we went, but it was one of Tig's non-lame days... X-ray on hock and stifle, which were clear, and told to go away and bring her back when she was lame - no reference at all to the muscle loss or asymetry (despite asking). Was told to go away and make her lame and make a video of her. Awaited their report and follow up recommendations, but still waiting over two months later (although I've had the bill and a reminder). Three weeks ago lameness came back with avengence, took her to Newmarket on our vet's recommendation. Knew as soon as we got there that they would find out what was wrong! Bone scanned, which showed nothing; then nerve blocks, which led to the diagnosis. What I'm trying to say is, I wish I'd gone to Newmarket sooner. I wish I'd known better and been more pushy. It probably wouldn't have made any difference in the end, but I can't help thinking that just maybe... Sorry, not being as eloquent as usual! Hope you get sorted soon and that yours is not the same as ours.
