Honestly, that photo looks like it's healing great, so fingers crossed it's all smooth sailing from here! <br />I'm sorry about that easy boot, that's what I've used for Shiny during all of her hoof traumas. I'm wondering if having a shoe in there is what caused the failure. (Shine's barefoot.) No matter though, just a bummer for your wallet! Looks like you found a good solution at least! Love the bell boot topper to keep it closed. Such a smart idea!Stacie Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421021003654717894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-31464097356535261422023-03-21T11:42:44.612-03:002023-03-21T11:42:44.612-03:00thank you.

Does his foot wrap extend up to or beyond the top of the boot? Those boots can have a large gap there and if the bell boot slides up it won't keep the wetness out.

The photo and video really help to see what's going on. <br />I have a set of those Davis boots for when I was soaking Beamer's abscesses. They are very sturdy! But open at the top like you say. The bell boot is a good idea. What about making some kind of fetlock wrap, maybe out of a padded material that you can sew a velcro strap on, to fit his fetlock under the top of the boot and the bell boot? That would be an added way of keeping snow and mud and moisture from going in the top of the boot.

You’re still dealing with keeping it protected, and the final results aren’t in. But you’ll be there soon. And if the vets say it’s going to be good, it probably is. I’ve found vets to be very cautious about their predictions, and when they say all will be well, it usually is. <br /><br />But it’s a relief to get to that part where all the wheels are back on the bus, and they are fully aired up!
