We arrived home tonight around 6- 6:30 safe and sound, the roads we're pretty clear, only about 10min of snow in port-au-basque but it was pretty good.
Anyways back to Josh. We got the bloodwork back on Thursday and he has EMND-Equine Motor Neuron Disease. This is the Vitamin E deficiancy. A regular horses levels would be 200-1000, Josh's level was 34! Chances are that he will never be able to be ridden. When we went to pick him up we noticed a huge difference in his symptoms, he isn't shivering or sweating near as much. We have to keep in contact with AVC and get bloodwork done every 1-3 months to keep an eye to make sure he doesn't get worse.

Josh was showing the symptoms of both the Vit. E and PPSM and HYPP when we brought him in they figured it was 1 of the 3 we ruled out HYPP when we said he never had impressive in his line and then only bloodwork could rule the others out. I never said they didn't know it was Vit.E!! they basically knew it as soon as he got in his stall!
