It's not been a good night here. I come home to a 5-6week old SFH dead and now there is something wrong with my stallion! He stands there and shuffling his back feet. Holds each one on the toe for a few seconds and then switches. Checked for heat in his feet and don't feel anything. Don't believe he is trying to founder on me. Took him out into the yard and he seemed stiff but loosened up fairly quick and willingly trotted on a lead rope for a few. I cant tell if it's his feet, legs or even his stomach bothering him. He's very willing to eat and seems happy other than the endless shuffling. I gave him some banamine (which is a pain reliever) to se if it helps. Thought for a while he was cold but he is growing a coat and is not shivering. I'm stumped.
