When Flash feels like running, hopefully he knows best. As for the end of his riding career, it's very hard to make a sound determination without knowing all the details. I just hope you have a very qualified vet who can help you with the diagnosis and treatment. There are really some wonderful advances for laminitis these days. I've no experience with Lyme disease, but maybe worth looking into?

Most horses do worse when that is ended. I've seen hundreds of horses be ridden until their last days and be fantastic, then I've seen some that were retired to early and die from that. If it's lamnitis or lime disease, it may be able to be helped. My horse, 11, was doing the same thing and he almost foundered. A little bit of stall rest so he didn't get the rich grass helped that, also a switch of feed. Just thought I'd throw it out there.Kalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011912207459834938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-43627203977615371972013-09-05T04:03:13.253-07:002013-09-05T04:03:13.253-07:00Oh I hope Flash is alright.

They generally improve dramatically with antibiotic treatment. Just a thought, I hope he feels better soon. The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.com
