[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1085626, member: 16453"] Have a look from side on. Take a close photo of a foot from side on and show us. Is there an abrupt change in the angle of the hoof on the new stuff compared to the old more normal looking hoof suggesting rotation of the distal phalynx as occurs in laminitis? From what I can see in the photo it is suggestive of being the case but we are looking from close to head on. It is the pressure of the distal phalynx on the sole that that causes the lameness months after the initial incident. Have a look at the sole and see if they have sagged and give them a squeeze with a pair of pinchers to assess how tender they are. Ken [/QUOTE]
