Got her X-Rays

Well, I finally got to see her X-Rays we took after she arrived (before I trimmed her). Imagining them and seeing them are two different things. I knew they would be bad... they're actually really scary, but on the other hand they could be a lot worse. She's definitely sunk (as if we couldn't have guessed that). The front of her coffin bone is VERTICAL and she has a small "ski tip" forming. However, her coffin bone looks to be in decent shape which is great. She actually has a decent amount of sole under the tip of her coffin bone somehow which is also great! There is a lot of room in front of the tip of her coffin bone, but I am not going to bring her toes back at the moment because she needs that leverage to rocker her back onto her heels. I have her X-Rays in hand, I will try to figure out a way to get photos of them up for you guys.

As far as how she's feeling.... she's about the same. She still whinnies whenever she sees anyone, she has a good appetite, she still lays down a lot, she goes out and eats grass for about two hours in the morning (with a nap somewhere in there out in the grass) and an hour or so at night. She doesn't really want to go outside of her pen any more than that. I let her loose out by the barn/arena to eat when I'm out at in the barn and if I leave her out for too long she just walks herself back into her pen. I've started her on some beet pulp and am giving her two cups of grain twice a day now. I've trimmed her twice more - I try to do it when she's already laying down. She scared me yesterday because she was laying down and breathing just a little faster than usual and looking at her belly - I gave her a 500 lb dose of Banamine and she's been fine since then, but I am watching her very closely. Think good thoughts for our Lily girl (who has recently acquired the nickname L'il!)
