control of back legs

Question
I have several horses and 2 being two years old.
The quater horse went through this and the vet had
me change the vitamins.  The other horse is a walker gelding.  He is having problems with his back legs putting them in line when he walks.  He is on the same vitamins, feed,and pasture.  We have had a group os skunks move around the farm.  The horse broke ones back and killed the mother.  It has been suggested that the droppings could cause this problem.  I live in north middle Tennessee.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Christine,

I'm sorry I don't know about skunk droppings, but if the horse isn't tracking properly, that needs to be checked by a chiropractor.  Get a referral at www.avcadoctors.com for a certified chiropractor of veterinarian.  It sure sounds like he'd benefit from an adjustment.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  All the best,

Dr Larry
