If you have tape and paper clips, or anything else metal like nails, you can tape them to the coronary band and tip of the frog. Shouldn't cost you anything! -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC

Re: Need assistance with trimming hooves and BCS

I've wondered about if or when I should be do repeat x-rays. Doesn't ECIR recommend doing the with identifiable landmarks? Not sure our current vet would do them that way. Set of x-rays he did,

Apollo's doing very well despite our vet not being receptive to using metformin. No heat or elevated pulses but was foot sore and especially stiff in mornings although improved once got moving.

Just a suggestion but if you bevel his walls out of weightbearing you won't need a special pad of any type - just experiment to find the consistency he likes best. Repeat films, at least laterals,

Alicia, Do you mean on the palmar aspect? That is the soft tissue calcifications I was referring to and the original examining vet noticed in 2016. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Re: Banamine/Gabapentin/Pentoxifylline

That report brought tears to my eyes. The bullnose right front is chronic but I'm sure if the other hoof changes were present then she would have noted it. The other changes I noted on RF are chronic

Re: Banamine/Gabapentin/Pentoxifylline

Sorry- by calcification I meant on P1/P2, unlike any "high ringbone" I've personally seen.. I assumed the artifacts in the hoof were dirt, other than the defect on the dorsal aspect of P3. I wonder
