Dr. Beckman came this afternoon to check on Emma. I knew it would not be good news. Gary was able to be there which was so nice.
She was literally misserable today. It is just so painful for her to walk or stand on her foot. It was painful to watch and I just hate this.
Dr. Beckman removed her foot pad and showed us the weeping from the bottom of her hoof. This tells him the injury is not healing the way we had hoped.
He believes the pain med is beginning to affect her stomach lining and she may not be able to tolerate it at the level she needs for pain. Not good either.
Our hope was to get her foot healed to the point that she could comfortably be out in the field again. I'm no longer sure that is possible. This is hard.
