Vinnie Setback Today Sore Feet again
|
Just a little update, Vinnie is continuing to improve. He is still sore over the medial left when he turns in his stall, this has always been the last part to improve. Knock wood he will be back to where he was in a week or so.. I think this time I am going to give him trazadone to prevent anymore adrenaline rush partying :)

Remember too that correcting insulin won't have any effect on bone loss or abscess collections https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/photo/245855/11?p=Name,,,20,2,0,0

Thanks Dr Kellon. I also need to remember that just because he looks better from the outside there is still much healing to do overall. He was walking so well, I took risks by letting him have freedoms when i knew he was feeling pretty high:) that were stupid on my part. :( I won't make that mistake again.

Update, so this.is my puzzle. Vinnie is quite sore on hard ground but not on soft surfaces. It seems partly circulatory and part breakover. He is at 4 weeks this Thursday and it feels like he has grown alot of toe this cycle..even more than he had been.
I have video on hard surfaces where he does not look like this about a week after getting used to the sneakers. so this is new for him. Out of stall Beginning of walk
Middle of walk
End of walk on way back

Yes, he's favoring the RF. I'm sure you've kept your farrier/trimmer informed that he looked good in the sneakers for a while and then they stopped working for him on that RF after a while. Maybe he can tweak what's under the sneakers, the pad or hoof packing, to make Vinnie more comfortable. I don't have a lot of experience with different glue-on options, but my Paint is more comfortable with less flexibility in the glue-on.

Thanks Cass, the RF sneaker is nailed on the foot.. He has been in a sneaker on the RF since Aug least year, this has always been the more solid foot. He does have some packing material and the sneaker is hollowed near the tip of the coffin to alleviate any possible pressure points.
We think that it is likely breakover, since he is growing quite a bit of foot (toe). We moved our reset up to tomorrow. Hopefully getting the toe back will make him feel a ton better. Strange blessings,, am soooo happy that the LF is doing so great finally!! -- Nancy and Vinnie and Summer Oakley, Ca Joined Nov 2018 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Nancy%20and%20Vinnie https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=245855 Summer https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Nancy%20and%20Vinnie/Summer https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=249104 |

So a quick update we feel this is a mild laminitis. He has pretty good pulses in both fronts and the left hind has a mild pulse, right hind hard to tell because it is always impaired from his lymphadema and scar tissue from past issues.
I am going to start him back on pergolide because we think that is likely the cause even though there have been some recent hay issues with the new hay I bought that I started to introduce right before he got sore. -- Nancy and Vinnie and Summer Oakley, Ca Joined Nov 2018 https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Nancy%20and%20Vinnie https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=245855 Summer https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/files/Nancy%20and%20Vinnie/Summer https://ecir.groups.io/g/CaseHistory/album?id=249104 |
