Seedy Toe > Hoof Wall Resection (7)
Re-building the foot with a resin.
-
Pre-trimming
This is the foot pre-trimming, you can see the cavity in the front wall. Also look at how offset the foot is in relation to the leg.
-
Preparation
This is the foot after all the necrotic tissue was pared away. All the foot taken away was insensitive so the horse didn't feel any discomfort.
-
Drilling Lugs
To give something for the hoof filler to fix into little holes are drilled around the affected area.
-
Filling the foot
A hoof filler called "Super Fast" was used in layers to re-build the foot, this then can be used in the same way as the hoof wall.
-
