: 5 year old ex racehorse has fracture of pedal bone. Old injury and probably raced with it. Only shows mild lameness in trot. Can this be remediated or is it the end of the line?
How old and how fractured? I am NOT the expert here by any shape of the word... BUT we do have clients P3 fractures that do well once healed.
I think you have to provide the board with a little more information and the whole story on this horse before anyone can give you any answers....
What are you planning on using this horse for? How old is the Fx, where is the Fx exactly and how bad is the Fx, and what has been done for him so far?
