How quickly would you expect him to recover?

[madhector]

J was shod on saturday, competed sunday, and wasnt himself, discovered he was a tiny bit lame on his near fore, hoof and leg felt slightly warm, but no swelling at all. Got the farrier back out, who confirmed a nail was a bit tight and he was sore on it. Reshod him.

Horse was imediatly alot better but not 100%, hoof is still warm after a day out in the field, but leg is not.

Just wondered how long it should take before he was 100% again, would it take a while for it to return to normal or is there an underlying problem?


Thanks

Fingers crossed it will settle in a day or two madhector but if the dodgy nail introduced infection, your ned could be working up to an abscess.
