When we first diagnosed him with Navicular, there were lots of steps to try, and he's been operating two years on the lowest steps, the pads and Ixosuprine. He's got higher levels of treatment available to him, from regular Bute to Cortizone shots, to make him feel better. Beyond that there's nerving, but I hadn't really considered that an option before.

All this presupposes his recent instances of feeling 'off' have anything to do with his feet. The last one could have been nothing but the cinch, and the time before could have been all attitude :~D

At the time you diagnosed him with Navicular, wasn't it a "might" be navicular? did you do exrays?

If him being "off" has anything to do with his feet, I'd imagine that he'd feel stiff or bobble in the trot. Does he do any of that?
