Soak, Pack & Repeat

Went out to feed this morning and I had a sore little red pony out there.  She did not want to move quickly and it looked like both front feet were sore.  I could feel a pulse in her pasterns, so took her temp, pulse, respiration and called the vet.

We've had a lot of rain, so her feet are a little soft, plus she is due for a reset at the end of this week.  She got ridden on Saturday and we crossed some big patches of large slag rock a couple of times, so the vet thinks she has just bruised her soft little soles.

So it's soak, pack and repeat (along with some bute) for a couple of days and keep her out of the mud.  Thank goodness she is a good patient!  As long as you pay attention to her, she will stand as long as you want.
