| Marketplace | Forestry HosePosted on October 22, 2010. Lame Horsea Ok, so today I was riding my horse (15hh mare QHxTB 4 years). I've taken a bridle path through woods and forests, which was very good. Then on the way back, when I was near the house, she suddenly lame right rear leg. I noticed her walking funny, so I went downstairs and saw his foot and it just suddenly CAMAD really lame. So I lead her home, and I washed down her leg and outside of the foot and there is nothing wrong with his foot, I can not see the damage to the hoof and it does not seem to want it bad on . Its something wrong with his leg. I do not know what would have happeneda It wasn't lame out of the bridleway, and we were off for a good 20-30 minutes before she was limping. I do not understand what happeneda It does not seem to have heat in any part of his hoof or leg and isn't ripped his leg off or showing signs of pain when I touch it, and it doesn't have any cuts or bumps. I saw a horse without everything breaking his lame a stone bruise. If you have testers see your horses hoof sole and fork. Tubbing in hot water and Epsom salts, drying and packaging of the hoof of the foot with a mixture of sugar and sugardine iodine solution (not rub) and a bandage will help attract the pain very quickly. If there is no heat or filling in the leg, it is very likely that this is the problem. Another possibility could be a crack, but on the basis of the information you have provided your tower which seems unlikely, there may be more than a little heat or filling that could have shown so far that if you already treated with Bute. Check your horses digital pulse on the 4 legs and see if there is a difference in the lame leg (strong momentum as the legs of others). You will make him carry the weight on the leg to get the best pulse reading. You check the pulse at the base of the sesamoid bones of the ankle right where the ankle meets the long pastern bone. Do not press too hard with your fingers. The slightest touch, the easier it is to take the pulse. If the pulse is strong and exciting, it is very likely that this is a stone bruise. Do what I advised above, and the administration of certain help Bute. 1 gram of Bute will be enough to help him through the night, but do not hide something more serious. Under the impetus of the morning (improvement), you can repeat the above and administering a gram of Bute. Do this for a day or two after the elimination of Bute on the second day. Continue to moniter the pulse. If there is no improvement at all after the first night, I would really call a vet. Do not give too much of Bute, because it takes about 48 hours for the 20cc (4 grams) to leave the system and you do not want the horse to be sound of Bute if the vet is coming out. It is much easier to diagnose if you are looking at the worst case. PS I guess I was very lucky in life I've always had a working relationship with my horse vet "where I was able to call them tell them what happened and get a certain kind of protocol to follow based on what I have told them or they would decide based on the information I have given that it was something that needed immediate attention. Part of the reason is because I knew my horse was very good and very factual and accurate information on what I described to them. It is all the attention on the payment details. Something we are all capable. It is just a matter of training ourselves to be so. if there is no heat or fluid in the leg and he did it when you touch it very likely that she brrused the frog. it could have worked on something sharp when you're on the road. I would give him two to three days and call the vet if there is no improvement. because it could be something worse. but keep its control and ensure that it does not receive Abse on or near the frog. I would give him a few days off, but the hand of his walk for 15 minutes a day if it did.
