The note from Jen frame is interesting... I looked up the renegade boots...
They really look good to me. I'd love to get some for Liz to prevent any
problems..(Cavella) I have some boots for her that I use as I don't put
shoes on her. They work okay but are cumbersome and hard to put on with my
arthritic hands. Wonder if the guy she mentioned could help if your vets
would be willing to talk and share information. Sometimess that's touchy
between vets.. and the extent of damage already done may make a difference
too.

Just wanted to know if anyone out there has had experience with a horse
with laminitis that overnight turned into a "sinker." That's the founder
that does not rotate but sinks straight down, sometimes the bone pierces
the sole, though not in this case, yet.
The vet/farrier was out here for 2 hours this morning. Handy to
have him in the practice. She did not require sedating, though the older
vet did that on Monday to do the xrays. This guy put on a custom made bar
shoe on her left foot to support it, then made a bar hospital shoe for
the right, with play-do and silicone in it. It has a metal plate that
removes from the bottom to look at the sole without taking the whole shoe
off, and you can also add medicines in there. That would be if her bone
penetrates the sole.
Both my regular farrier and both vets say if that happens I might
as well give up, and they seem to think it is inevitable. Sad. At least
this way I can enjoy her now and if it comes to that I will have had time
to prepare (whatever that means). It is just so hard to see this big
hulking horse with gleaming summer coat and bright eyes and beautiful
tail to the floor and all that is wrong with her is one stupid foot.
She is not in a lot of pain, at least it is controlled with the
bute and banamine, she moves around her sand paddock and wonders why she
can't graze.
