It's crucial to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best course of action for your horse.
Here's why:
* Foundering is a serious condition. It requires expert veterinary care to diagnose and manage.
* A muzzle may or may not be appropriate. The decision depends on many factors, including the severity of the laminitis, the horse's individual needs, and the veterinarian's recommendations.
* Muzzles can have both benefits and risks. They can help prevent a horse from overeating grass, but they also can cause discomfort and impede a horse's ability to graze naturally.
Please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian immediately to discuss your horse's condition and receive personalized advice. They will be able to examine your horse, assess the situation, and recommend the best treatment and management plan.
