I took Aletheia last Friday to a Vet (of a good horsey friend of mine) in Missouri who has consulted with me and my Farrier telephonically for the past few months - very experienced and succussful with founder. She got new shoes yesterady - an eggbar of sorts set way back with no pressure on the toe he tells me at all.... and set up with the equine digital support pink stuff. He initially told my friend we shall see how she does in 48 hours (she was there about the time they finished). The vet called last night and said she was moving substanially better - out about 4 hours and was talking and eating like a pig...... His wife called this morning and said she is better yet. The bad news is he says (and I think I have known this for a long time) that the long term prognosis is not good due the bone loss particularily on the left - and that that is why I can't keep her comfy for long periods of time - but to hang in there - lets see what we can do and then day by day and down the road a bit - judge quality of life - but for right now we are having GOOD DAYS.
I will post pics when I can get some of how he has her shoed.
