It's not looking good for him according to this article. I didn't know he had laminitis.

It is sad. He's battling a tough foe.

just awful... DRF is saying 20% chance to survive.

stupid question, but would that stemcell treatment that got Lava Man back to the track do anything for Kip?

Smart question. Wouldn't help the damage from laminitis, unfortunately. That's sad about Kip, doesn't look good.

I can't even tell you what I'd give not to see this horse on the In Memorium for 2009. C'mon Kip!

Listening to Steve talking to Haskin a minute ago, Haskin said an experienced horsewoman contacted him on Facebook about a guy who's worked with a couple dozen horses with laminitis and never lost one. Supposely he put or will put it to Iavarone. You never know.

Hopefully he makes a turn around for the better...

24 horses with laminitis and has not lost a one? I highly doubt that.
