Thank you very much for your response...it has ended up that she has a very extreme case of pigeon fever that grabbed all those lymph nodes on her underside - yesterday she moved up the hill a bit the first time in over 3 weeks with the vac's and then this...so she is going to get better but she was a very hurting girl - now this disease has really got me wanted info and answers about it if you can share any good websites with info I can look into. Thanks again, very much. Marilyn

Thank you very much for your response; I did get my vet out here last night and he's running blood tests. Edema is first guess but he's worried due to the closeness in date to vac's and her reaction to the shots and now this....so we'll see. Again, thank you.
For George Fimbres (November 2007)
George,
Thank you very much for your response. I wish I was in Arizona, actually I went out there a few years ago and looked at ranches and was going to move in the Apache Junction area. At the moment I am in Plymouth, MA. I wish I could find a good horse trainer out this way. I appreciate you getting back to me. I will attach photos. She came from the OK Appaloosa Ranch in Oklahoma. She was starved when I got her, and is a nice horse, not mean, just very frightened of people.
Thank you again,
Sarah

Thank you for your response.
I guess it was really the color that concerned me most - it was very yellowish. She is pretty much always on pasture but the change of season did bring it back to green somewhat - not as much as normal with the drought we have experienced so I wasn't sure if that was it or if I needed to worry about something more serious.
I think I may move to a daily dewormer that goes in their food - please let me know if there are any drawbacks to this type of wormer.
Thank you again for your help.

Thank you very much for the reply.
It has been about 4 days since the accident, and so far so good. My vet told me to keep it wrapped and inside atleast for a week. She is coming out next week to do dental work, so she said she'd look at it then. I am following both yours and her instructions, and am re-wrapping every 24 to 36 hours. (That's when the wrap is starts to come off. Wrapping a shod foot is hard on the bandages!) My vet did assure me that it would heal correctly even wrapped.
So, thanks again, I think God had His hand on her that day!

Thanks for the reply, did get him in and saw Dr. Reese a equine dermatologist. She did a complete shot series and came up that it was the fungus that grows on the bottom side of grass. Should be able to handle it with injections. That place was fascinating.
Thanks

Thanks Herb. I already havea new farrier. He put front shoes on him last night. He pulled back some when he was putting the left front on, which is not like him, but he said it could just be sore. He is walking much better with just a soreness in front left.
Thank You So Much, Becky
