hi rodeogirl07, i would ask your vet to recommend a back person to you as they may need to work together on this problem, well done for taking the poor thing on & this needs to be sorted asap as he may not put weight on if hes in a lot of pain. good luck & let me know how you get on.

It surprises me that a vet would give your horse anti-inflams without knowing what the problem was? To my mind you have to be careful you're just not covering up a problem which may get worse if the horse doesn't protect himself. Anyway, glad he's improving. Also if he was neglected make sure he hasn't been left with stomach problems like ulcers as internal problems can effect the back.

He's obviously going to be weak. Get his back checked and his teeth too as they're probably part of the reason for being thin but make sure its someone who uses hand rasps and not electric power tools. Best wishes HorseVet
