Hi Sue,

So sorry you had the knee issue and Princess is having trouble again.

You are correct, the toes really got away from the farrier. Need to back them considerably. LF heels pretty good at the time of the xrays so getting the toe backed on that one is the goal. RF heels need to get lowered some and toe backed. You may have some abscess issues brewing as well as cold-induced pain so J herb and AAKG would be the way to go as well as wraps, boots, blankets for warmth.

Drops in temps will cause insulin spikes so that could also be a factor here.The bute will only slow down any abscessing that may be trying to happen. Know how hard it is to watch them in pain.

Looking forward to the pix when you have a chance to get those up. Hang in there and give Princess a hug for us.
