Noddy sadly has severe laminits, a life threatening and very painful condition that is caused by inflammation in the horses foot. He has been loved but sadly a bit too much. He is grossly overweight and has had some poor foot care, which has caused his laminitis. Because he is in so much pain, he has been walking with all his weight on his heels. Imagine walking on your heels 24/7! This has caused a rotation of his pedal bone, which is now fractured from the pressure. His soles are also very thin, causing more pain when he walks.
For many ponies, this would have a very bleak future but our vet has given Noddy a good prognosis, providing he can get the specialist shoes, treatment and diet that he so badly needs. All this adds up to a minimum of £1,500. Noddy is a cheeky pony, full of life and personality. He can be saved, with our help. If you can, please donate to Noddys appeal and help him on his journey to recovery. Thank you for your kindness and for believing in Hugs.
