 Have a friend whose imported Danish Warmblood has been lame for over a year 
 with what has been diagnosed as pedal osteitis.  Even on bute, he is sore, 
 and she is struggling with the difficult financial and emotional decisions 
 that are inevitable.
 
 Does anyone have experience with this condition?  Possible treatments? >>


I've had one report that electrical stimulation is effective with pedal 
osteitis. If you want to experiment with this and report back in full, I will 
provide the equipment and the technique used by the other person.
