Because one horse isn't treated exactly like another horse is no reason to doubt the diagnosis. Your horse may have had a sterile inflammation that was treated symptomatically and responded well after months. Uncle Mo had infection. If your horse didn't get antibiotics, there wasn't an (antibiotic-responsive) infectious cause. Was a definitive cause ever established in your horse?

She did get antibiotics and no cause was ever established as I imagine its almost impossible to find one.

I find it very strange that you can make these definitive statements about Mo's condition unless you yourself is the one treating the horse.

You do seem like someone who does not lack in confidence.
