🇺🇦 🐱UKRAINE PET CARRIER APPEAL 🇺🇦🐱 UKRAINE CRISIS - HOW CAN WE HELP? We have all seen people carrying their pets, whilst fleeing their homes. There is a HUGE need for sturdy pet carriers in Ukraine right now. If you have a spare pet carrier, then please visit any of our branches to donate it. We will make sure this gets to Ukraine. 🥰Thank you 🥰

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS HORSE? This showjumper was referred to us at EqWest Vets for a forelimb lameness investigation, but when we examined it there was one striking feature of his behaviour. When asked to back he would involuntarily snatch up a hind leg and lift it slightly outwards. It trembled briefly and then was replaced normally. This horse is a 'shiverer'. One of the reasons we ask the seller to back horses in a pre-purchase examination (PPE) is to detect this condition. The cause of this neurological disorder is unknown and there is no treatment. This horse has been affected for four years (he's 14 years now) and it does not affect his ability to jump, nor does he do it when mounted if asked to rein-back. The main significance is that these horses can be difficult to shoe unless the farrier can induce them to relax or he/she can shoe the horse with the limb held very low. Many unfortunately slowly progress over time and can develop hind-limb weakness. The condition can be mistaken for stringhalt but in the latter the limb is brought straight up rather than up and outwards, and there is no trembling of the limb muscles or the tail. Shivering is mostly a disease of the hind-limbs of big horses such as warmbloods and draught-crosses, although Kieran at EqWest has seen it when vetting in a four year old pony, and in a forelimb in an eventer.
