my horse foundered april 2000 we have been trying since then
to find a comfortable shoeing method for him. he went
through the abcessing and other founder things. we have
tried the EDSS shoeing and that did not seem to help
him. he was in heartbars for two months and that
seemed to help initially but then too much pressure
on the toe. Our farrier tried different types of shoes
but none seemed to work. He does not like any type
of sole (pad, etc) or heel pressure (wedge pad).
He is in specially made aluminum shoes but the nite after
the shoes were placed..he was lying down alot and still is
and not moving around very much. This morning there was
bleeding in the right corner toe area. Our vet is
coming to pull the shoes tonite --- any ideas or
suggestions would be welcomed.
FYI...We have xrays taken before every shoeing,
Thanks you in advance.
