: It has been 6 wks.sents my farrier came out. So he came out today .The changes was unbeliveable Blues feet had out groude his bar shoes and when his frog was trimed the coffin bone was pushin against the soul you could see it . It has not broke through yet. My farrier said that in his yrs. of shoeing foundered horses he had never seen anything like it. we made pict. He did not replace shoes or do anything .said it was not his place to tell my that Blue needed to be put down at this point.But that was what he would do.
: But for now we are going to try no shoes and see it Blues on presser might push the coffin bone back up.This horse has a strong urge to live he has not give in yet.I have two weeks to see.I have cut his bute down to 1/2 in morring and 1/2 at evening. To find the lowest pain con. point has been on bute sence Aprial 2003 2,4,3,1,tabs.and now 1/2.Any advice.

Debbie -
People here can help your horse - doing nothing WONT!
There is so much info here - get the styrofoam - protect his feet and then get real help. If you are determined to go barefoot Anne on this board can help.
