laminitis recovery
-

tip remodeling (from laminitis),

Shoe removal on Feb 09
|
-
Before removing shoes - shows a more
forward, underslung dominant
right
front hoof and a
more upright, non-dominant left
front hoof
-
Please note that the Feb 2009 toes
w/shoes (dorsal hoofwalls) look short
because their flares have been
rasped away to make them look
more normal and create better
break-over. This only thins the
dorsal hoofwall and creates an
optical illusion, instead of a
healthy & normal dorsal hoofwall
angle!
