The vet came by again today to check on Max and basically he hasn't improved and that I have to continue to poultice wrap everyday for who knows how long. This means an 80 mile drive a day 0.0 Perfect timing for snow and icy driving conditions.
He's worth it of course, but I for-see fewer blog posts till he is all healed up. I'll be posting occasional updates here and there so I can look back one day and laugh at all of this.
Things could always be worse!

Mystery solved..kinda.
The BO texted me last night and we made the decision to have the vet come see Max this morning.
I arrived super early and walked around like a frozen popsicle, fussing on Max, sweeping, organizing the lead ropes..geez...I was so nervous!
She finally arrived, removed his left shoe and did some hoof testing on him. It looks like he has a bruise in his left foot, that she says could also possibly be an abscess. So he is now on a poultice wrap and stall rest for a couple of days till she heads out again for a check-in.
The good news is nothing else on his hoof hurts so it probably isn't founder. *WHEW* Although..you never know. We will just have to see in a couple of days.
Somehow, some way, Max always finds a way to remove his shoes. Perhaps he is telling me something!
