Sending an Email out to partners this week. There is no timetable for SWLY. She has to grow an entirely new frog (solel) on her left front, and that will take several months. As Chuck said to me the other day, "I don't want to speculate too much, but there's no reason to think she couldn't get back to race after this."

I was a little worried that something happened to Sumwon's soul.

It's been a while since I've watched those races. Thanks for reminding us Hoffy. That is one game filly and I would love to see her back at the races if she can regain that form. It was also the first time I heard the replay of a race that Luke called since his passing. Very sad. IMO he was the "BEST" in the business. I could never understand why his call of the Derby wasn't used on the T.V. coverage.

Okay! Had no idea was the current protocol was for that type of situation nowadays - thanks for the explanation and a special thank you for looking out for her [and all the rest of your charges! ] best to all...

For those that want to see what's being discussed here, go to
http://www.equusite.com/articles/bas...tsOfFoot.shtml I didn't realize this was so serious an issue for Sumwon. I went back and read Chuck's blog that took her from a stone bruise to an abcess to the changing treatments, etc but I didn't consider it to be anything out of the norm of popping and letting it drain. I look forward to reading more detail in the email you'll put out this week, Steve! Thanks!

Surprised to hear it is so serious.

Chuck and Riot,
A friend of mine has a business in MD doing equine thermography. Would the use of thermal imaging of a hoof be something that could help in diagnosing an infection that you can't see? Given the imaging seeks hotspots, how advanced would an infection have to be before it starts to heat up? Hope that doesn't sound like a stupid question...... I spent the better part of two days at the Timonium sale in May watching my friend image horses right before they walked into the sales ring. It was amazing to see some of the live imaging of the legs as they went by. I made note of some really hot ones and put them in stable mail to watch for when they work. Of the 30 names I wrote down (those with the hottest legs), only 5 have worked since May.

Yes, thermal imaging could work well, I'm for it and like it for equine use. Most interior hoof abcesses are pretty painful on their own as first sign, however (think bamboo stick under your fingernail, or blood blister under your nail).
As far as the yearlings, remember that leg paints, taking bandages off, alcohol, water on the leg, ShowSheen, etc. can affect the image you see. But interesting, what you say about what horses with hot images are turning up working, and who is not?  I know Chuck has a thermal imager, don't know if he has put it on SWLY.

in Sumwonlovesyou's case thermography was not used. She exhibited classic signs of an abscess, when she did not produce results from soaking and packing the foot, digital x-rays were taken which revealed the area of infection so that the podiatry team could dig in and get it out. Again, she is healing ridiculously well, and I am not concerned about her in the least. She actually broke loose today while she was being walked and had a good gallop up the aisle until I stepped out of the office in front of her and spoiled her fun.

You don't need a baseline of "normal" to use thermography.
"Baseline" is influenced by ambient environmental temperature, wind, the metabolic state of the horse, what substances are in the horses coat (shampoo, water, etc), how long ago the horse had a bath (cooled, heated, etc), drugs the horse is on or has taken recently, exercise (peripheral or superfical vasodilation), and many other factors. Thus "normal" changes minute to minute, day to day, week to week. Because thermography reads what is current at the time, it's best and most accurate use for injury detection and continued monitoring of injury in the horse is simply comparing what you are seeing now in a bilaterally symmetrical animal.
