My dearest old eventer was shod on Tuesday. She has been totally sound and been working very well up to this point. On Wednesday morning she is cronically sore and looking very laminitic. The vet was out (other eventer has sprained his suspensory!!!) and thought that she looked like she had the beginnings of cushings (she is 19 has recently developed a dipped back and lost quite a bit of muscle over her rump) and could have laminitis too and what to investigate pedal bone rotation. This has made my mothers and mine hearts sink as she has been our best friend and the most amazing horse we could have ever had. What are people's experiences??? If she was suffering from pedal bone rotation would she have been sound and happy cantering round the school on Sunday and Monday???? Help!!! and any advice greatly appreciated.
