: : Ok about 6 weeks ago my vet diagnosed my horse with pedastalitis with posterior heel pain, strained empor ligamint, and heel pain from over reaching. I had to soak her foot in runners relief 2 times a day for 1 week. THen she needed to have 2 bute a day morn. and night. THen six weeks of rest. She is lame on the front right foot at the trot and I am not sure about the canter and not the walk. SHe is a Quater Horse/Appaloosa and is 4 years old. She has shoes on all 4 and wears bell boots 24/7. SHe will be getting her shoes off on the 6th of october for the winter. She does sometimes over reach but never does when she has no shoes on, that I know of. It will be 6 weeks on the 3rd of october and I was supposed to be able to start ridding her. My vet said if she was not better by then to have x-rays. Roo is lame one day and the next she is sound but then sometimes the day after she is lame again. It is really wierd and I really want her to get better. SHe is a beautiful horse and is a good hunter and i just want her to get better. Do you know what could be the matter. Please get back to me.

As soon as your vet takes those x-rays you will be able to determine what the problem is! GoodLuck! Gary
