This message is from: "Janne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sorry to hear about your gelding.
The way you described him standing and the amount of pain sure sounds like founder. It is def. not a bruise, as it affects both feet. You may have to xray his feet, look for any rotation of the coffin bone and for any signs of ringbone. Worth the expense to find out for sure. been there, done that, and it is so hard to watch the pain. My old QH mare went trhu that. Best wishes. Janne Myrdal
