actually, i think they've had a foot specialist in because A-that's his only real issue now, and B-they want to get him out of dodge and to a warmer climate, and they don't want that foot to turn into a real issue. luckily the weather has been fairly mild.
his hoof is growing back 'funny'--they don't think it will ever look like a normal hoof again. they just have to keep it, and him, on an even keel, or the fight begins all over again.

yes, there are still issues with that hoof--as pais said, there probably always will be. but there are horses who survive with chronic laminitis. his is an acute case, of course he will always have a higher risk of having another bout. but he's come so far, he has such tremendous spirit. i'm hoping to be reading updates on him for years to come.
