Live just outside Paris... my lovely-but-naughty horse has been losing weight (but otherwise has been OK), and a months' worth of vets visits and blood tests later, the only glimmer of a clue is a "touch" of leptospirosis (apparently not enough to explain the weight loss and not alarming enough to separate him from his field mates) plus a question mark over fasciola hepatica.
Liver enzymes are borderline and he has just had a liver-boosting treatment plus a load of nice vitamins. He has also had a teensy bit of mud fever but this has already cleared up (he had a course of antibiotics for this plus daily treatments locally).
He is 16. Anyone had unexplained weight loss this winter (or previous winters, for that matter), with similar lack of conclusive blood test results?
Thanks for any ideas you may have! (He is precious to me)
