I've read past threads on founder and have questions and/or need clarification about a few things.
My farrier was here on Monday and showed me lines in her hoof that indicate that one of my lil ones has foundered at some point. She was obese and I've made pretty good headway getting weight off her this winter.
I'm currently feeding Strategy. Is it ok to continue with that feed? Or is there something out there that would be better for her?
Obviously she can no longer be on pasture 24/7 but the farrier did say that it would probably be ok to let her back on grass once it's lost it's spring lushness (June-July). Would appreciate thoughts on his comment.
I have her on a joint supplement (started it before finding out about the founder) which has seemed to help her move around a bit easier. Is there something else I should get for her?
Any help/advice would be sincerely appreciated.....I've never dealt with founder before.
