Mystery lameness???!!! Seriously WTH.

So the GHH has a mystery lameness. Got new shoes yesterday, leasee came out to lightly hack and he was short-strided, got off and stopped. Called me. Went out today, same thing and didn't work out. Some heat above coronary band, left hind. Not HOT, just warm. He was OVERDUE ( :censored: :argh: farrier) so yes, might be a nail, but no heat there. I'm thinking abscess, or maybe a bruise....thoughts? I had her pack it tonight and give a previcox.

I'm going out tomorrow night unplanned to check him.... :shoot: Just venting and looking for ideas, I guess. Oh, and jingles, please!!!!

with the timing of new shoes yesterday, it sounds like it could easily be a hot nail or a close trim. Jingles for the GHH!

Until you figure out what it is I would stop the nsaid. With an abcess the anti inflammatory can slow the process down. Jingles!

Quick update....leasee was out last night...still short strided...granted our indoor is hard as a rock. heat behind, only left hind and only above his coronary band. packed his foot. The pro rider is looking at him today. She was supposed to ride anyhow...will call me to discuss whether I need to go out after work. Doesn't seem too unhappy according to leasee. or super lame....but off.

Jingles worked....or he hates the indoor footing. Either way, he was better today and we are no longer able to ride inside, LOL. Thank goodness he is feeling better!
