Infection in Pedal Bone

one feels so helpless
my mares is due to abscess from laminitis she is finishing one course of norodine and eroxill, xray today said infection worst but with lami they dont normally operate to remove the bone. i feel like my world is crashing down :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
My gelding also had an infected pedal bone last year although he has made a full recovery in a few months. It seems so horrific at the time, but hopefully other people will see this thread and see that there are many horses who've suffered from this and are none the worse for it now! :)
 
My girl's infection in the pedal bone and damage to the distal navicular ligament was definately caused by trauma from a deep puncture wound and not a chronic ailment like laminitis.

Because of that and after reading all the replies to my post, I'm feeling much more positive now than I was at the beginning when everything seemed so dark. It really has been so helpful to hear of other peoples experiences and to see that so many horses have survived and recovered so well with treatment.

Thank you again everyone for sharing with me.

I'm so sorry to hear about your horse Leviathan and the troubles you are having, I really do hope things improve for you.
