Sorry the boy has had a rough day, MA. That it goes with the territory doesn't make it any easier to bear, does it. Hope things are looking up again soon. Lotsa good thoughts and prayers for both of you.

MA I'm just now getting to this thread. I'm praying for your horse. I'm a big horse fanatic. They have to be my favorite animal. I guess I'm a true Texan.
You're definitely in my thoughts and prayers as well as your horse. I have a friend that raises horses and I'll talk to her and find out if she knows of anything, although I'm not sure she'll be able to tell you anything that you don't already know.
Prayers are flying.

I hope Racer has a better day tomorrow.
Maryanne - I am still praying for Racer and that he improves more and more each day. I know that you have been in the creek and outside in the weather nursing your boy back to health - I just hope that your cold will go away and not turn into anything worse. You take care of yourself, too! (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))
MA - how is racer today???

He is holding his own. He couldn't walk hardly at all yesterday and today is better for him. The vet wants therapuetic shoes put on him so I am waiting for the farrier to call to tell me when they are going to do this. I feel like we are just waiting for him to explode or something, him or me!
{{{{Racer}}}}
Sometimes the waiting is the worst
Keeping the prayers and good vibes coming.

Just an update-
Digital pulsing only apparent in the right front leg. Vet is thinking abscess is ready to blow any day. In the meantime, we have fashioned these support shoes out of builders foam and duct tape. He looks like he has snowshoes on! He is confined to his stall, and you can see his ears are back, so he is still in a bit of pain. It was a challenge to get these things on him, but he was quite cooperative even though it was clear he was feeling punky. I need to groom him, but everytime I do, he just rolls in his stall and gets dirty again. His Pal Trav is nearby in the next stall but not confined.
Thanks for the prayers and the good thoughts. He has been off bute now for 3 days and on a holistic liquid called BL Solution with Devils Claw.

More x-rays were taken today and the results are he has rotated in both of his legs. 10 degrees in his left leg and 5 in his right. The farrier will be out tomorrow to take his toe down and fit him for shoes, and then I will trailer him to the vet so they can test him for Cushings Disease.
He will be gone for 2 days then come back home. They inject him with a dye and then take blood work at specific times for 24 hours then watch him for a day to make sure there are no complications. The vet was not encouraged by the lack of progress he has made and so he fit him with some special padded shoes. I have reached out to the animal communicator who helped me last time he was so ill and she is helping me a lot, she is simply amazing.
Poor racer
I'm interested in what your communicator has to say.
