Help - Lami or something else?? (also in veterinary)

[scotsmare]

Our section b filly is on restricted grazing to avoid her getting laminitis, have had no problems all summer and she lives out 24/7.

Now, she's always been a little bit footy on the track up to the stables cos it's quite stony. However, she was super tender on all four feet this morning when I brought her in!

Theres no heat / digital pulse to speak of - could we be talking laminitis or am I just being paranoid.

She's perfectly sound in the field.......

Have got farrier coming this afternoon to put a shoe back on (but he's quite grumpy and don't want to bother him if I'm just being silly

)

Bite the bullet and ask the farrier, it's his duty to keep you informed of these things.

I bug my farrier all the time as my mare had lami before and it was actually him that spotted it.

Be Strong!

Maybe she's just been running about on the hard ground and has slightly tender soles from doing it?

It could be lami due to the rain bring through new shoots of grass but since she's been grassing it 24/7 it seems unlikely, fingers crossed the farrier can put your mind at ease!

I will ask him this afternoon so that I can get vet if ponio needs it.....
