Baron's feet will take some time to heal,
with his thin, shelly wall, fungus-y sole and frog, and a prior
diagnosis of navicular changes. As soon as his shoes were
pulled, he was reluctant to weight his right front heel. He shed
out a lot of very poor quality sole on that right front immediately.
I did a conservative setup trim, and fitted Baron with boots and pads.
We will treat aggressively with chlorine dioxide soaks, booting, and
lots of walking!

Well, they're not much to write home
about yet, but compared to a month ago, Baron's feet are looking good!
Wall quality has already improved. Baron shed quite a bit of
sole, and his frogs already look better, after just one chlorine
dioxide treatment.

BIG improvement! Hoof wall quality
looks great; sole is healthy and building depth; frogs are MUCH
healthier! Go, Baron!!!
