In case anyone remembers my posts about Tex's horrible coronet injury I have a positive update.
It was awful and he missed an artery by a fraction of a hair. He sliced himself at an angle with a very large portion of the back of his foot hanging They vet said most of the area would die where it had been cut and that he had damaged the part of the hoof responsible for new outgrowth. The vet seemed certain that new hoof would not grow at all back there or at the best grow back in incorrectly and require alot of corrective trims for life.
We have been very worried about this and holding our breath for what would come to be.
Well I have wonderful news...........
The farrier was here to examine him and trim him and said that the hoof appears to not only be fully growing in, but growing in NORMAL!
Tex shows no sign of lameness and is truly himself. I am so amazed at his recovery.
Now we are just left waiting for the rest of the proud flesh to dry out and be removed and by spring I suspect we are left with a sound, healthy horse that can go out for training and be sold
I thought the worst but I have been proven wrong
Here is one case where I am happy tobe wrong
And happy my vet was too
