Tonto is 15, about 15 .2 hands. He is a very very sweet boy.
Some horses when compromised are very docile and quite different when they feel better. But this guy really wanted to co-operate. I picked up and cleaned all his feet which had not been done I was told for many months. Nice feet! Then when i went around rubbing fly goop on him he offered to pick up each foot again.
Dr. McEvoy did exams, a dental and put him on a regimem of Gastroguard. (Please don't folks call the good doctor - he cannot discuss with you nor does he want a bunch of calls.) I left a protocol of herbs and such for mucosal repair; which we will continue for many months.
Darn it I did not get a bunch of photos as I was hands on helping with the exam: trotting out and holding for dental etc. Here is what I got and the prognosis.
