Lame after loosing a shoe

[FayeJohnstone]

Hi my horse lost a front left shoe on Tuesday night out in the field, he was brought in on Wednesday morning and was rather sore on the foot I just assumed he was abit foot sore after losing the shoe and being on hard ground. I had the farrier out today to put a shoe back on and he is now hopping lame? He is on full livery and yard owner let me know today he had a pulse in both front feet and she guessed early lami . I went to see him after work and cannot feel a pulse in front right and can feel a very slight pulse in the foot he is lame on. He’s currently stabled and has had a bute but is very uncomfortable.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated xx

Farrier back to remove the shoe and vet I guess.

Exactly this. Laminitis is rife this year so not worth the risk

My horse goes lame when he looses a shoe. He could have bruised it on the hard ground which would also account for a raised pulse. Better to be safe than sorry, call vet.

I think I would get the vet out as soon as possible .

If your farrier can get there asap to check for an abcess try that first. Mine managed to stab a tiny hole in his sole, most likely with one of the shoe nails when he pulled the shoe off. Farrier quickly identified the problem & we cured it like a standard abcess.
