Cuzco foundered this morning.
Luckily we caught it very early, and with some ice baths on his feet throughout the day along with some anti-inflammatory and probiotics from the vet, he seems to be doing much better! He was even trying to trot a bit tonight before feeding, and he isn't laying down as much. He wants to walk out and play and everything, so I think he's going to be just fine with a bit of rest. Won't be showing next weekend though!!
So here's my question: The vet called a friend who brought over her mini-size Soft Ride boots to put on his front feet. They made a HUGE difference! He was happier immediately, and with a week or so of constant wear we should be in the clear. However, they are over $200 for a pair, and that's just not feasible for me right now. So I got to looking around the internet and found the Easy Boot, which claims to have the same inserts for laminitis as the Soft Ride boots, but they're about $40 for a pair on Ebay. If they truly are the same, I would obviously love to go with the more inexpensive boots.
Does anyone have any opinions/experience one way or the other with Soft Ride or Easy Boot? I would love to hear to help with my decision! Thanks!
Also, any opinions on Best Friend grazing muzzles? Are they worth the cost or will the regular cloth muzzle that I have be just as good?
