Ok this is a very serious case. Ok I have to take X-rays to see the degree of which the pedal bone has turned. It looks like he's pretty bad. He might not make it. His chances look very slim. He needs to be on complete stall rest. Refrain him from ANY work or leading or anything. Do everything in his stall. Give him 2 tablets of bute a day. Give him a handful of grain a day mixed with corn oil. If you give him any more then that his condition will get worse. No turnout at all. I need to fit frog supports also. I seditate him and fit the frog supports. Ok take him home and give him a lot of attention but NO work. Don't hose his feet or anything. I really know a lot about this kind of thing and if the farrier has something else to say tell me. Oh and here's his dewormer and WN and tetanus shots
-100 visit
-100 X-rays
-20 shots
-7 dewormer
-10 sedetation
-20 frog supports
-10 bute
267 dollars

You can do it. Just don't scare him if you have to move him slowly out and tie him by his stall. Oh and also give him a deep bedding 18" or higher of whatever you're using.
