I have noticed that horses esp TB's can display mystery footiness which doesn't have any of the widely recognised causal factors. Some get better with routine/environment changes, others with modifications beyond the norm to their diet. I am having some success with a combination of ECIR diet, plus Yea Sac and pharm' grade charcoal. Many TBs seem very sensitive to stress/gut acidity. I have had horses go footy on antibiotics, wormers, vaccinations, too much milk thistle (which is supposed to be good), willow, the list is endless. The one crumb of comfort being the footiness being such an early sign means that preventative steps can be taken. I feel for your trimmer - concavity isn't really a trimming issue (unless the trim is truely dreadful).<br /><br />Have you run bloods for your TB?Lucy Prioryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280373786413701480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512029654494965635.post-57570301855658727622011-06-14T13:14:30.636+01:002011-06-14T13:14:30.636+01:00My 23 yo metabolic mystery barefoot (for 5 yrs) TB...My 23 yo metabolic mystery barefoot (for 5 yrs) TBx has footiness which, despite my very experienced trimmer trying for four years to keep him comfortable and hold on to concavity in his fronts. There always seems to be episodes of setbacks which prevents us getting any further with his rehab.<br />I have followed Dr Kellons protocols for two years not and the sugar in his diet is well under control. I routinely soak all hay and haylage and he is muzzled when out in the field for only five hours, then he goes into a bare paddock.<br />This article mentions coming out in hives and being lethargic so if the horse looks a picture of health and is bright eyed and bushy tailed, surely LGS cannot be the reason?Chris Hardakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512029654494965635.post-9203558882314489022010-08-26T01:48:32.155+01:002010-08-26T01:48:32.155+01:00Very interesting - thanks!Very interesting - thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
