    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Moderators, please pull this post. I am the original poster and I see no reason for it to be brought back up after such a long period of time. Little Sweetheart was given to Dawn Hahler to be fitted with a prosthesis and used for a therapy horse at hospitals, etc. I was later told by Dawn...

    Would love to see a picture of Sugar Creek White Tie and Tux

    What a surprise to view this topic and see a picture of my mare, Spanish Lace, identified as Sugar Creek White Tie and Tux. No, she is definitely not Sugar Creek White Tie and Tux but she IS a daughter of his. I was e-mailed a picture of him when I purchased Spanish Lace as a weanling and had...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Got an update on Sweetheart this morning after her night in the motel room and all is well. To answer some questions, Sweetheart eagerly drinks her formula from a bottle or from a dish. And no, she is not eating hay at 2 weeks of age but it probably won't be long if he progresses like she has...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    I am so elated to update that Sweetheart has been picked up by her new mom today and that she continues to amaze us with her ability to adjust. She is now an energetic and mischievous little filly, bouncing everywhere despite her foot deformity. She has adjusted well to wearing her splint and...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that Sweetheart is alive and well and is growing stronger each day. There is no improvement in the foot itself but she has adjusted well to manuvering on her homemade prosthesis. She can follow mom around and is nursing well; even manages to be a...

    Thank you all again for your information. It is so much appreciated. You are a wealth of information and I remain overwhelmed with your support. I wanted to give you an update on "Sweetheart," but first I feel that I must respond on this forum to "Minis Out West." I do not know where your...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Our little filly is still with us. Vet out again this morning for third and last Tetracycline injection. As you know from the pictures, the contraction is severe and there might be fusion in the joint. This is more than likely not just a case of a contracted tendon, but a birth defect. So...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Thank you all so very much for your concern and best wishes for this little filly. I am overwhelmed with your response to this topic and your many expressions of support. It has been a long couple of days but she is still hanging in there. Last night she nursed from mom pretty agressively...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Thank you all so much for your comments and concerns. It really means a lot to me. Keep the prayers coming. The little filly is still strong and is trying to nurse but it is hard work for her to keep her balance long enough to latch on. She drank several ounces of colostrum from a syringe...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Everything else normal. No dwarf characteristics, vet says not a dummy foal. Showed strong urge to nurse this afternoon but about an hour ago, not such a strong urge. Just can't seem to balance herself enough to learn to nurse. Tried holding her up but then she quits trying. We are going...

    Newborn foal with deformed foot; advice please

    Around lunchtime today we had a filly born with a badly deformed left back foot. The foot actually is turned backwards and lies next to the back of the leg. It is frozen like that. Vet has been out and gave her some kind of injection and will be back in the morning at 8:00 to give another...

    UPDATE ON FILLY WITH BAD FRONT LEGS. Picture taken this afternoon. She has improved since yesterday afternoon when the first picture was taken. She right leg was splinted for part of today (6.5 hours). Left leg was not splinted as it was not as bad. Mom and baby were somewhat confined to a...

    New Filly Has Bad Front Legs

    Thank you everyone for your response. You have all been very helpful. Thank you too to those that personally e-mailed me with advice. I really, really appreciate it. She and mom are in a small area where mom can not go too far from her but the filly can get some exercise for her legs also...

    New Filly Has Bad Front Legs

    This little filly was born last night. Just wondering if we should splint or leave alone and hope they will straighten on their own. Her little knees just bend the wrong way and do not lock in the correct position. She is able to walk (but lies down mostly) and nurses for short intervals...
