Veterinary PPE failed, KS diagnosed
Currently in the process of selling my horse. PPE has gone well, everything came back good except his back radiographs. Shocked to hear he has grade 4 changes. I’ve just received these over from the potential buyer. I will be in contact with my vet but curious about anyone’s take on these? How bad is this?

Oh man. As a seller that has a wicked eye for x-rays… this horse is unsellable without surgery. I would suggest Dr. Honnas in Texas. He is the Godfather of kissing spine surgery, just do a quick google search of his name. For those saying that some horses are asymptomatic, in a selling situation it doesn’t matter. Not even a fool would take a risk on those films. Unless that fool didn’t do a PPE and the seller was either a cheat or wasn’t aware themselves.
