Sunday evening update… all good so far!
Tonight we finished the first round of antibiotics for Sundance… thank goodness. He’s been on injectable Naxcel, 15cc, and holding a 400 lb baby still for shots is no simple task! He is such a good boy for all of this. If he wasn’t so easy going, this could be a really hard process!
Tomorrow the vet comes back for more blood work and to evaluate where he stands to schedule surgery.
We tried an experiment this evening; Sundance now has a custom fitted Easy Boot on his club foot, with a foam wedge on the bottom and foam inside to help with fit (as you can imagine, his foot doesn’t exactly fit a boot!) Pictures on the main web site at http://www.founder-rehab.com .
So, if we are lucky and get a totally clear vet report we are hoping she’ll clear him for surgery April 1. Otherwise, if she’s conservative, we’ll probably do it April 15. The surgery at Loomis will be about $700, not including castration. We’ve decided to deal with one pain issue at a time
Check back for updates on the boot!
