[QUOTE="TR, post: 139793, member: 22"] Wouldn't ya know it that as soon as I started advertising that filly, she came up lame? Sure enough, she's 3 - legged lame in her right for foot/leg. No swelling anywhere, no sensitivity in leg or shoulder. Spoke to the vet, and have ruled out founder (I'm paranoid about that), and we figured a possible abcess in that foot. I can't see any discoloration in her sole or frog, but her feet are black and hard, hard, hard. There's also not any sensitivity from what I can tell on her sole or frog, but I don't have any hoof testers out here. I've currently got her on Bute and Sulfa tabs per the vet's recommendation, and am soaking her foot daily. A little improvement, but I'm thinking that's the bute working. Course of action is to see how she does until Monday, then haul her in for x-rays if she shows no improvement. I also have a call into my farrier for him to come on out and take a look and see if he can detect an abcess. Any other thoughts? As I said, I'm not seeing any swelling due to soft tissue damage, but she's kind of pidgen toed (tends to put weight on outside walls of her feet), and I'm wondering about stress to that pastern.
