: Have a 22 year old quarter horse foundering, Vet has been called, has suggested Butte and a shot and patches on legs, have myself not spoken to Vet as husband was there. I am so ignorant about the subject, what causes it etc., what chances are there for recovery. Horse is in pretty good shape, is there anything that I can do to help him other than what the Vet suggested. Also what to ask the shoer how is due out on Friday to do all my horses. Please help
Do you know what caused your horse to founder? If not try to figure out what it was. Is the horse up or lying down? Go to the hopeforsoundness web site and READ all that pertains to your horses problem and get your farrier out with your vet to get a program started NOW! Good Luck! Gary
