X-rays for Levi.

Levi has been living at the training facility for the past couple of months.  As she has been working him harder, we wanted to make sure that he was good to go from a trim/treatment standpoint.


So we had both the vet (Dr. Emma) and our ferrier (Chuck) out for a day of x-rays and trimming.  Levi was sedated to make the whole process easier for everyone.


Dr. Emma would x-ray and then Chuck would trim.  Then, Dr. Emma would x-ray again.  This gave Chuck the information he needed to be able to take as much heel off as possible without causing lameness.  

It is amazing to me how much an x-ray can show and how much a ferrier can determine with the naked eye.  It was a fantastic experience all around.

Levi seems to think the ferrier stand is his own personal chew toy.
