New Rads

Posted by Jan on August 04, 2003 at 12:11:11:

My vet will be taking new rads of my foundered mare's feet tomorrow. I have read the recommendations on the hopeforsoundness site (horse up on wooden blocks, etc.). My vet uses some type of home made slant board, i.e., the hoof is put against the board at an approximate 45D angle individually (not loaded). I have even seen this type of set up for sale in various farrier supply catalogs.

My question is will the rads be any good taken this way? I plan to tape a wire or link chain to the front of the hoof wall and insert a tack at the frog apex. My vet has never done that and hopefully he won't complain. However, I'm not sure he will go for a totally different set up to the way he currently shoots the films. Any advice?

Thanks,
Jan
