Laminitis and X rays Too
On 8-31-09 vet came out, diagnosed Laminitic on both fores, pulse up and over weight. Stalled with Lilly pads bed shavings deep on very strict diet cut hay to 8 flakes (soaked) daily. On 10-8-08-09 vet revisited took x-rays, Spoke to farrier on 10-9-09 discussed plan for shoeing...
Mare is doing better vet will revisit on 11-10-09 for more x-rays. My album has pictures or her shoes and pads. I have a great farrier and vet I trust them completely. I have also come to trust and appreciate your opinions too. Thank you in advance Last edited by butterflyx233; 11-02-2009 at 10:41 PM. Reason: Adding a rad

Re: Laminitis and X rays Too
Seem to have a good safe sole depth ...P3 seems a very little out of line ,but this may only be because of the long toe..looks very healthy not like the picture i get to see here sometimes
 looking at the shoeing pictures it seems that the long toe is a thing of the past..good job ,not sure what others think,but I would float the dorsal wall a bit .

Re: Laminitis and X rays Too
Can I get some input on these rads? I just added the one at the bottom and I noticed there is a shadow about the size of a nickle on the coffin bone.
Thank You in advance Terri

Re: Laminitis and X rays Too
Well, some input would be that the X ray is not taken at straight angles. The horizontal marker in the X ray block is not visible making it hard to determine exact sole depth. Also the marker of the dorsal hoofwall is missing.
For me as a shoer those are bigger problems than the shadow you mentioned. Ronald Aalders
