Well it's very nearly a full year since Roo got laminitis. And it was such a tough time for us. We've worked really hard over the year to get her healthy and sound and to stay that way.
I had to get the vet out last Monday to check her blood, make sure the prascend is doing its job. They came back Normal, so very pleased
It was the same vet that came to roo when she was so so poorly. She is really pleased with Roo now. She says that she looks well and is the perfect weight. Shes now 518kg on my weightape. She got as high as 640kg last year (these are her absolute highest reading to lowest on the tape)
I mentioned that she is walking funny and I wanted to check that it's just stiffness and nothing worse so We took her for a short walk and apparently she has arthritis in her hocks. She says they are always more stiff this time of year (definitely true of Roo) and she's been kept in a lot which doesn't help.
She said with Roos weight and the way the grass currently looks, I can relax a little bit with her turnout for the next couple of months.
Im so so lucky and pleased that she is doing so well
Few pictures
This is what her feet looked like in October
I thought those rings would never go!
This is a more recent hoof picture but she has been shod again since this.
My most recent photos of her (about a month ago)
And trying her with no muzzle
