I see that no one has talked about navicular disease in 4 years, but I'd like to get the discussion going again if anyone is interested, please? I have a very young 3 year old that has some signs of navicular disease on his radiographs. Has anyone heard of a horse that young developing the disease? He's showing other signs of conformation defects, but I'm really concerned about navicular since I've already had to put down an 8 year old gelding from the disease. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Whoa Liz, you are just in the wrong section for navicular disease. This question was more about diagnostic interpretation of a radiographic finding involving navicular disease. We have an article specifically on navicular that has been updated in the past 60 days and many much newer discussions, we get posts about navicular disease almost daily in various parts of the advisor. To access the article and many such discussions go to Equine Diseases > Lameness > Diseases of the Hoof > Navicular Disease / SynDrOme.

I intend to visit the area referenced above to read more about Navicular. I have a series of six radiographs taken this week the vet feels warrant nerve block testing to rule out Navicular. I have an 8 year old mare who has been lame since June, comes and goes and shows up most at trot and downhill. Would it be appropriate to post the radiographs for Dr. O's interpretation? I have complete confidence on our vet but I am also open to another pair of eyes if this is appropriate. Thanks.

ladycfp: back up to the top, and start your own personal discussion on Navicular. It's the way to get more responses on your own personal problem. Go to the original discussion, hit the box at the bottom that says: "start your own discussion", and let us have it, radiographs and all. My mare was diagnosed at about 6 or 7 yrs. old. It really curtailed her show career, but she's out in the barn right now, and looks good, at 30 yrs old.
