Out of curiosity, what topics would you like to see covered at the next laminitis conference? what speakers would you like to hear from?
Here is a link to a New Bolton paper on the subject: http://www.scribd.com/doc/88033657/keratoma
Are we talking ugly at the beginning, or after we work on the hoof?
The SI can be blocked. It can also be diagnosed through Nuclear scintigraphy and confirmed by radiographs. Was the pastern blocked?
Was the SI blocked in the first place? was the pastern blocked in the first place? How was the initial diagnosis arrived at?
OK, so your horse is not sound and has multiple issues which have historically caused pain, but which have also been treated. It seems to me that as...
Here is a link to the construction of a Schroeder- Thomas splint, I thought it might be helpful to a farrier at some point:...
So, is he now sound? If not, where has the vet determined him to be lame? Which structures are currently causing him issues? I am not convinced...
That's one of our excellent fourth year vet students with the smile. I like the (accidental) background- various splints and molds, including the...
I did not see the article, but I was contacted by the New Bolton Center communications office about this. Apparently the Horse Magazine called in...
I posted this here because I didn't know where else to put it. This is a Shroeder-Thomas Splint, and is used to reduce weight bearing and to place...
So "balance" is more than Duckett's dot (which doesn't consider dynamic variables)? at least in terms of m/l balance?
I did not say this, I said every crack behaves differently. I said that compressing the outer hoofwall results in tension on the inner hoofwall.
Eric, When plating a bone in surgery the palte side is in compression but the opposite side is in tension. I think the same principle applies to the...
Very complicated, that's why we (collective) disagree and I am avoiding absolutes in my answers. Everything works some of the time, but nothing works...
OK. Every hoof deforms differently under load, so the advantage/drawback of repairing the hoof in the non-weightbearing position will vary for...
The hoof is extremely thin at the proximal border due to the coronary groove, and without stability it is difficult to achieve healthy growth at the...
Yes, I think hoof capsules function better when they are in one piece without cracks. If pulling it together results in more stability then I support...
For all of the arguing in the horse world about the term "balance", and all of the different interpretations applied in trimming and shoeing, there...
There are a lot of reasons for cracks to appear, but if the hoof on either side of the crack keeps moving I can't envision it healing. How do you...
Separate names with a comma.
