about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

Ok. My horse Sullivan might be lame and I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to help heal lamnitis faster and how I can help pass time faster while I cant ride him.
Thanks!

First of all I believe you are talking about
'Laminitis'. If I remember from my horse days, Laminitis is not a single illness or disease, but one symptom of disease or disorder. So therefore without knowing the root cause it will be difficult to tell you how to heal it faster. If the underlying cause is not treated the laminitis will most likely not heal properly.

"When you can start riding again depends on how severe the symptoms were and how good the treatment response has been. If there is any rotation it will take at least eight months for the damaged areas to grow out. If no rotation has occurred two months rest and correction of the predisposing factors should be considered. Your vet should direct you when it is safe to start riding again".

As far as passing the time faster try taking up a different hobby in the mean time.
