Millie's 8 week update

 Hard to believe that Millie has been here for 8 weeks but here we are, and I am really pleased with his much progress she has made. 

The top photo is the original photo and the lower photo is her update after 8 weeks. Millie came here with DDFT damage and therefore a reluctance to load the back of her foot although her feet superficially did not look too bad. 

Looking more closely you can see that her heels are loading better now and as a result the back of her foot is building up. 

This is best described I think as saying she is no longer on tiptoe, if you see what I mean. 

The same foot showing the much better development of the caudal aspect - digital cushion, frog and heels.

Millie has been able to safely work on the roads for a while now and this has certainly been a factor in her rapid improvement. 

It is a similar situation with the right foot and again the key is the better development of the frog and caudal hoof.  

Again, although the changes are less dramatic than in the left there is a sense her weight has shifted back. 

Interesting demonstration of why it is important to assess from different angles as the changes are again very clear from this viewpoint. 

There will be more on Millie soon, but its great that she has done so well so far.
