6 weeks worth of foot growth on a Chronic Laminitic

These pictures below are of an old little Shetland called Milly. She is trimmed every 6 weeks pretty much on the dot. Milly grows an amazing amount of foot and I thought it was a good example to share with you. With Laminitis you get accelerated heel growth, due to the natural stripy colours of her foot is shows clearly how the horn tubules are curling forwards. These are the type of feet that if left for 6 months without trimming for instance they would curl right up like a pixy boot. Click on any of the images below to see how the other feet looked.
