Foreleg lameness - update

[Janette]

Just got back from the vets. The problem is where the suspensory ligament connects to the cannon bone (the origin). The vet thinks she's got damage here. To be confirmed by ultrasound. So now she is on box rest for the near future.

So the problem was not in her feet at all, but many thanks to those who helped and gave me lots of information.

Sounds very much the same as mine, he did his ligament in the same place on his front left in August, we've had 16 weeks of box rest and 3 shock wave treatments, then I turned him out as he wouldn't be walked in hand !
My daughter started riding him again in October and we are up to an hour plus each ride including trot, been given the all clear to start canter work but we're leaving it for a while to give him the best chance of coming right.
Good luck and I hope it all goes right for you

Thanks for the update Janette, been watching out for news.
Hopefully you're on track for a definite diagnosis and a treatment plan.
Good luck
