Hi,  Does anyone have any suggestions to try after a horse has been on stall rest for a very deep abcess that has now healed, but he can't walk without limping very badly.  We had to have some of the sole of his foot removed and then he had a shoe with a plate to provide for meds to be absorbed in the foot.  I was told to let him out and get some exercise now, but he is in so much pain again he won't put his foot down.  This horse is a halter gelding weighing about 1450 lbs. now that he has lost about 200 to help with his foot.  Right now his owner is looking at the possibilty of losing him unless we can find some reason for the continued lameness.  ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!  Thank You,  RQH1
