Hi,

I'm posting this for a dear friend who has a beautiful chestnut mule
who has been diagnosed by the veterinarians at the University of Florida,
Gainesville, with medial sidebone in her left front foot. There are no
navicular problems.

The options for treatment at this time are 1) nerving in the medial
area only and/or 2) shoes with pads. The shoes with pads alone may not work
and thus, the nerving would need to be done with the shoes and pads being
applied afterward.

My friend would like to know if anyone else out there has
experienced and been through the same thing and what did course of treatment
did you take. Any and all suggestions, comments, etc. would be very greatly
appreciated as this is quite a lovely mule who is very near and dear to her
owner's heart. Thanks. Kim
