I bet, before this whole laminitis-and-aftermath, you never would have thought you would be trimming Laz's hooves yourself. What a journey!<br /><br />That RF is so bizarre, BUT I see a huge improvement already, now that you are working on it. Good growth, much better angle. I keep wondering--if the hoof wall is "normal" at the top, at what point does it turn into bizarro abnormal hump-foot, and HOW do you get that good angle from the top of the hoof wall to grow all the way down to the ground? I'm thinking you guys are probably onto something with removing all of that lamellar wedge--maybe the key to (well, it might not ever be "normal," but a MORE normal) hoof will be to take resect all of that extra material and take it as far back as you can. I can see all of the black stuff in there, too--I am sure that is not helping, and getting rid if it will greatly improve his hoof health.<br /><br />I think Ls needs to be a case study!! Can't wait to see how that hoof will improve in the coming months. :-) Exciting stuff!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-41107271445874853752014-10-13T12:11:17.975-04:002014-10-13T12:11:17.975-04:00Girl, you are a trimming goddess.

He's a pro 99% at just standing and allowing it. <br />Otherwise other soaks you don't need to trap the gas, and you can use just the dry bag, or even just a bucket if they will allow Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874624063824272651.post-14801672720432457962014-10-12T18:05:42.498-04:002014-10-12T18:05:42.498-04:00Laz is making you into a master trimmer!
