Sole hope

Right fore has been a source of discomfort- and toe first landing more so than left. I kept looking for loose sole around the front half of the frog... a sign that he was ready to lose that retained sole crescent. Yesterday I saw it! I peeled it away and found the area in front of the frog is a little bowl!! And it's holding firmly still today! He doesn't walk as if he has a rock in his foot anymore. :) The sole may look prolapsed but it's the shortened wall through the quarters making an illusion. There is only slight give to the sole all around, just as it should be. With just less than half a new foot grown, I expect more concavity and the apex, or tip of the frog to raise into a more normal position, away from the ground. He has been trying all the samples I got from SmartPak while waiting for the Devils Claw Plus supply to arrive. SmartSox, SmartGain4, SmartFlex Rehab, and Smart TLC... He is happier than ever, even hanging out with the "herd" and moving better and better Honey decided he'd better be put in his place and chomped down on his hamstring- just enough to cause a squeal and loss of hide... not enough to draw blood... She was promptly banished to isolation. Well, just for a few hours. She is not allowed to bully Jester off his food though. I keep them separate long enough for everyone to have at least half of the hay I put out. I like to use the small hole hay nets so they don't inhale the hay. It keeps their guts (and minds) busy longer :)
