How Deal With Navicular Horses Disease

By Kathleen Collins


For all the horse owner, have a healthy animal is the most important thing. If your one was diagnosed with navicular horses disease, the first thing that you need to be aware of is that it is not terminal. As with runners who have trouble with their feet, it doesn t mean they cannot run again, it means they need to take care of their feet, so they can run again. The same applies here.

The first sign that will make you realize that there may be something wrong is if you notice your stallion is limping or trying to avoid pacing pressure on their front legs. Instead of trying to diagnose by yourself, the best would be to take it to the vet, so they can do a proper analysis. They will usually perform x-rays and other physical exams that will confirm what the condition is.

If the diagnoses is as you thought, you will now need to make sure that you have everything you need so they are comfortable. One of the items you need to get made is special shoes for their hooves. The reason for this is they will try to land on the toes often instead of the heel which is where the pain is, and this can cause sever discomfort. These shoes will help them to feel less pain and enable them to walk and stand properly.

When the shoes arrive, you need to make sure that when it is on, it allows the hoof to land on the heel fist and then the toe, because this is the right way they should walk. If you see that it doesn t allow for this, it probably needs a trim and you need to send it back. Even better if you can send exact measurements as well as pictures so they makers can see.

When the shoe fits and everything is starting to come together, you now need to get into a routine of keeping them fit. Daily exercises are a must however, you may want to do your research as there are specific ways of getting them fit which allows them to put pressure on their back legs rather than the front.

If you are not knowledgeable on the subject, it will be best to rather use an expert in this field. Keep in mind that you are working with an animal s health and well-being, which means that you cannot do the bare minimum and expect a recovery. Using an expert means that the steed will get the best care and the right care to get over its condition in the fastest time, with no harm or pain to them.

The other partner that you must have on hand is a vet who specializes in this type of disease. As much as you may think that it is not necessary, it actually is. If you take your horse to someone who can only diagnose rather than treat, then you may have some trouble. You need to have experts close by so that you can seek advice and also rely on them when you need help.

If you have stallions, you need to make sure that you are keeping yourself up to date with all the possible illnesses that could occur and the best ways to find a solution.
