the frog and sole are not the same thing....and she needs to regrow both.

I was a little worried that something happened to Sumwon's soul.

For those that want to see what's being discussed here, go to

http://www.equusite.com/articles/bas...tsOfFoot.shtml


I didn't realize this was so serious an issue for Sumwon. I went back and read Chuck's blog that took her from a stone bruise to an abcess to the changing treatments, etc but I didn't consider it to be anything out of the norm of popping and letting it drain.

I look forward to reading more detail in the email you'll put out this week, Steve!

Thanks!

The hardest thing to deal with horses feet is that most things start out rather minor and most of the time get better but because of the inability to see what is going on inside, they can get worse. There is really no way of telling or even much prevention once thier is infection in a foot. Most of the time it pops out as an abcess, sometimes quarter cracks develop and in pretty rare cases as in the case of the filly, the infection spreads throughout the entire foot and kills the underlying tissues.

Surprised to hear it is so serious.

she is fitted with a special shoe that has a steel "treatment plate" that screws into it to protect her foot, under the plate she has dental impression clay to lend support for the underlying structures while she recovers. Both the vet and the farrier are impressed with how well she is recovering.

It's been a while since I've watched those races. Thanks for reminding us Hoffy. That is one game filly and I would love to see her back at the races if she can regain that form. It was also the first time I heard the replay of a race that Luke called since his passing. Very sad. IMO he was the "BEST" in the business. I could never understand why his call of the Derby wasn't used on the T.V. coverage.

Okay! Had no idea was the current protocol was for that type of situation nowadays - thanks for the explanation and a special thank you for looking out for her [and all the rest of your charges! ] best to all...
