Hello
Thanks for your concern and your, as always, wonderful advice!
He does not limp on his foot with the laminitis at all, he limps on his ringbone foot, at a trot. Another good thing is since he has his feet all balanced he is walking normal, I don't really know how to discribe the way he used to walk, when he had the shoes on he was reaching out in front, that is when I decided he needs the shoes off that something is really wrong. I guess all I can say is he just walks more balanced and normal. LOL
Of course I will call a vet in if he gets worse, but
improvement daily is a good sign I don't need one as of yet.Thanks so much for your concern, Pam and Dr.Getty!
