Vibes for my darling Raff - PLEEEASE - spiral fracture?

[Natch]

A friend of mine owned a mare who had a spiral fracture of her upper foreleg. That healed absolutely fine although she did develop laminitis in the foot of the opposite leg. Before you panic, we firmly believe that was more to do with lack of care by a very large veterinary hospital than the fact she had to stayed cross-tied.

First of all, I understand these type of fractures are one of the "best" to have, so to speak, in terms of recovery.

Secondly, I have had experience of a horse in a cast getting lami on the opposite leg - not the horsepital's fault this time, just a result of the extra pressure the opposite foot has to cope with. So would definately be worth talking to your vet when you go through treatment and recovery, and seeing if they will recommend anything you can do to stabilise and support the opposite foot. x

Had a message from CCP on FB.
She hasn't been on, as she has been sat in the stable with Raff all day.
She can access FB through her mobile, but not much else.
