The vet's plan (i now clarified with a clear mind) is to take Nemo in clinic and run oxytetracycline for 3-5 days to treat any infection that may be there and help create elasticity in the tendon.

The best boots are the ones that fit her. Best pads are the ones she finds most comfortable. You're going to need to experiment.The Soft Rides or Easycare Clouds have the most forgiving fit. If you

Nicole, Wow on getting the trim done! Boots and padding are highly individual. I like the ease of applying Easyboot Clouds but pads were a constant changing problem for my horse. I suggest getting a

Hi Paola, Are there new radiographs available? All I see in the album are the ones from before. If there were new ones done, were they done after the trim or before? Is it possible to get even a few

Bone infections are very difficult to treat. They are the #1 cause of amputations in people. To attempt treatment there must be surgery to remove all the compromised bone followed by a long course of

Nicole, I found Easyboot Sneakers to be a difficult boot to get on and off. Both Easyboot Clouds and Soft Rides are designed as rehab boots, so are easier to apply to a horse that is having trouble

He has been starved and his feet neglected for a long time but there is no reason to think a young stallion would have metabolic/hormonal issues. To know for sure you need to test insulin and ACTH. --

Hi Trisha, thanks! His attitude is SO much better. Fixing his diet, losing a lot of weight and getting his feet back on game has been nothing but positive for him. He’s back to his perky, playful

Hello everyone. I have just updated Condado’s X-rays and blood work. He is a 11yo PRE stallion. He was shoed last Tuesday but we are waiting to move him to our facilities to take the correct

Many thanks, Lavinia! No ma’am, not touching any sole. I’ll take more toe off each week for sure and post more progress pics next month. I see that high wall on RF now and will address it tonight.

Hi Sherry, thank you. His crest is much softer that in June. It has gone down a little. But I can’t call it “squishy”. I’m not taking anything off his soles. Just rasping hoof walls to

Anne As you probably know I had to make this decision two months ago, sometimes it seems like forever since I’ve given her a hug, heard her whinny or simply just able to love on her. And the pain is

She is pretty sore yet, she hasn't moved much. I wonder if I should try putting the thick black pads back in again instead of the wool felt that is in there... but I think she is done with us messing

Thanks to Sherry, the case history is now in the right place. We are stretching his leg and to try and help with the tendon. What about an antibiotic injection into the bone? -- Anne

Nice job on the trim, really got the toes backed up perfectly and the alignment looks to be spot-on. What does Strawberry think? -- Lavinia, George Too, Calvin (PPID) and Dinky (PPID/IR) Nappi,

I posted Strawberry's front post-trim photos to her album. -- Nicole P 2021, Minnesota Case History: Strawberry Case History Photo album: Strawberry Photo Album

Thank you so much for all the information! So the history I have for her is she was tested for Cushings and IR in April 2021. The test results didn't indicate cushings but insulin over 200. I don't

I keep thinking about you and hope I did not speak out of turn. I have been thru something similar and have felt the anguish. Just know that you cannot make a wrong decision when you make it out of

Wondering if someone could take a look at my most recent hay analysis. I'm waiting on blood and ACTH levels. Tricana is fully Cushings now, when last I checked she was still compensated
