Answer
HI --YOU NEED TO ASK YOUR VET ON THAT QUESTION, AS THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT IDEAS ON HOW TO TREAT A HORSE WITH AMANITAS. A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN THE RACING BUISNESS. MOST HORSES WITH THIS DO NOT DO WELL AS A RACE HORSE.ONCE THE COFFIN BONE ROTATES DOWNWARD, THE FOOT IS NOT MUCH USE TO THE HORSE ANYMORE. VERY PAINFUL PROBLEM TO THE HORSE EVEN TO JUST WALK.
