Just wanted to update everyone on Mr. Chelokee. We had x-rays shot of his left front (uninjured) which had the bone infection over Christmas and there were no visible signs of infections. The x-rays did show that he had sunk some in his heel which was causing him some discomfort but he is now comfortable on that foot and doing well. We had expected some changes in that foot since the coffin bone had been compromised with the previous infection. He does have some sensitive areas in his right front (injured) heel that we are treating and hoping will grow out and heal. He just got a new glue-on shoe on that foot this morning to continue to support it and keep pressure off the sensitive areas allowing the areas to heal. Thanks to Brandon Nunn and Dr. Larry Shamis. Keep your well wishes and prayers coming for this wonderful horse. He keeps amazing me daily as does his 4 beautiful 2013 fillies! Love this guy!
