Hot feet after shoeing - HELP PLS URGENT - Is this lami??

[senorita]

My horse was shod a day ago and he is walking really slowly (his front feet were quite long and farrier has chopped them back really short) he seems to be in pain tho no obvious lameness in walk, in trot hes lame with head nodding. He has been this sore some years ago when he was shod by another farrier and he chopped off a lot of hoof but he was badly lame in walk then. This is worrying me.

Meant to say also that his front hooves the ones which have been cut really short are really hot.

Call your farrier and get him to come and check him, a forum can't really help you with this one if the farrier can't come get the vet to

Sounds like you might have a nailbind!

In both front feet?? Both hooves are hot. I'll have to wait and see over the weekend and ring farrier Monday. Great - this is what happens when you change farriers. Should've left his feet long.

He is slightly overweight, well is overweight when you look at him but according to weigh tape hes on his summer weight of 585 kg. Thing is our yard is very rich in grass and it worries me. He wont wear a muzzle as he rears when I go near him with it. What would you do?? I think I'll have to move tho no good yards near me.

If there's any chance its laminitis then the safest thing to do is restrict grass, preferably no grass or anything sugary at all, if it is laminitis its really important to do this and if it isn't it won't do any harm. Then get vet or farrier out.

Could also be as simple as the farrier trimming too much length off the foot, if the horse was sound before :(

Thanks everyone for your replies.

What can I do then if his toes have been cut short (hes chopped a lot off). Dont think he should have gone so short so quick really (new farrier).

You need to speak to the farrier, there may be a reason why they did it etc
