DSLD was the initial diagnosis. Because this horse had such a dramatic recovery, the vets (excellent lameness guys) decided that probaby it wasn't.
However, Fabio had an episode this week of something our local equine vet treated as colic and that same afternoon I was reading about "false colic"s in horses with DSLD. I suspect his owner will be waiting for a while to know the true outcome. She calls him "Baby" and refers to herself as "Mommy". I certainly hope he recovers. Nancy
