Hi everyone ,
I have the 4 year old mare that has laminitis . My new Farrier will be here on Sat afternoon , and I will know more about what to do now ...Does anyone have any expierence with this ?She was trimmed 3 weeks before the origional Farrier did a bad job , i believe it was painful during the process , by the way she reacted , and she was VERY lame for the next week or so. Now she has a dark ring around the hoof wall folowing back to the heel , that looks non existant right now. I have a new Farrier that specializes in ponys that have foundered, and with wild horse trims... From what I have seen on the computer about trimming a hoof that has laminitis or founder looks pretty gorey, with blood and cutting way back. If my Farrier has to do this I will pass out... I dont "do " blood. Is the rest of our ( me and pony ) life going to now be filled with blood , pain and vet bills? I am not sure I can handle this.... In the last 3 weeks I have watched her front feet change form , from streight to having a wavey look to them , all of this happend after the Farrier trimmed her . If this is 100 % caused by my farrier and she must be put down , what can I do to this hidious man, other than to torch him down ? Has anyone had a pony founder after a bad trim, or 2? I am absolutly sick to my stomach about this. I hope someone with a laminic pony out there can give me some support to get through this week . Can I buy sneekers? Is there a boot that is safe enough for her to wear all the time if she needs it? Any web sites or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am very scared... and feel very guilty for allowing this monster to carve on by babys feet.... all 4 of my horse kids were lame after the trims. So I really need to get an idea of the aftercare, involved . She is walking , just slow and stiff, and I pray that the bone is still in place.
