Thank you Diann, that does help. Thank you! ive had this horse for 11? years. That half moon ridge at the toe is new. That and the significant white line separation makes me wonder if the coffin

I am not a vet! these are thoughts questions I would have if it were me. Antibiotics travel in the blood yes? So increasing vascular perfusion would help? J-herb? if they can get a needle up in

Kati I’m sorry, I’ll be thinking of you and Zuni. I hope you both can get through this. You must love each other very much. Praying for you both ❤️

Hi all, We already have gotten our first snowfall in northern Illiniois, so looks like a long winter ahead. I have a 3 year old who has thin soles and he gets very ouchy on frozen surfaces.

Ok. X- rays look bad. Nail had penetrated through navicular bone. On top of that Zuni has navicular to start. Infections in navicular & coffin bone. Yes I know, very bad. However, Zuni is not ready

I'm so sorry Kati. I'll keep you and Zuni in my prayers tonight, and I wish I could give you a hug. I hope everything goes well. Most everyone here knows and understands how scary it is when our

Zuni is in the hospital. Fluid in the navicular bursa. We had the choice of trying aggressive antibiotics for $4000-5000, possibly surgery which brings it up to $8000 or letting her go. My roommate

Crap, did not see that pic! Yep, the sole is shedding. I would keep this in a boot to protect it until new sole is ready

What you are seeing is retain sole. How long has it been like this? Heels look good. Nice heel buttress. Decent frogs. Flairs are an issue. Looks like a good roll to help grow out the flairs.

Has anyone ever tried battery heated socks to keep the hoofs warm? i was thinking if I got a big enough pair I could put them on where the battery is located on the inside where she couldn’t roll

Oh Linda! That is so sad. My heart is with you as I am hoping for the best but I realize, her being still in so much pain is not good.

I don't mean to scare you, but my 20 year old gelding had a similar injury about 3 weeks ago. Thought nothing of it since that has happened before. We soaked, put on antibiotics, and finally took

The possibility of infection is high with this type of injury. You need to get rads done to see if anything will show up. Assuming she is up-to-date on tetanus vax. Did the vet make any mention of

On Monday my mare Zuni stepped into a nail that entered her right front hoof at the medial sulcus. In my panic I didn't take a picture so the vet who thank God was there within about 2 hours could not

Thank you ladies! no subsolar abscess but he did have a monster come out at the hairline above this area. I’m working 12’s the next few days so I won’t see him in the daylight. Great to know

Looks like he's getting ready to shed a dead sole and possibly frog? Did he have a sub-solar abscess prior? That could explain the clear separation between dead and new sole. At this time you need

Hi Joella, I can see the area you are asking about but without a full set of photos and clean feet there is nothing to reference against to be able to make suggestions. Agree with you that if this
