Re: Vet Tomorrow-UPDATE!
Kelly Hill
Thank you to everyone's comments and support. I just
wanted to give an update on Poppin and his vet visit and I have a few questions. Although terribly lame he showed no response to hoof testers. Xrays show defect/"fraying" on edge of coffin bone but doesn't look infected. His coffin bone is too flat, it is too low in his heel (the only thing I can actually see in the xrays!). Vet said to soak due to probably abscess. Two days after the trip to the vet, he was visibly more sound, happy and flat out saucy. He has not had any pain medicine since a week ago Friday. I cannot explain this cycle of dead lame then ready to rock and roll. He started getting sore again this past Friday and is pretty tender again today. The weather this weekend is extremely cold (lows in single digits F). He is blanketed and legs are wrapped. I posted his x-rays in the photos section, titled "Poppin". Hoof gurus, can you please take a peak? I did not do blood work due to the fact he was trailered and was not happy about it. I planned on drawing blood myself tomorrow and my small animal vet has agreed to process it if anyone thinks it is still necessary. Should I put him back on his J-herb? Should he be on AAKG? Anything else I am missing? Thanks again, Kelly and Poppin --- "Eleanor Kellon, VMD" <drkellon@...> wrote: The X-rays and findings on hoof testers ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
