"His legs seem to be giving him trouble, his knees are very shaky and he lays down often"

Dear Keith...

Tuesday, March 13, 2007

I have a medical related question, I have a 15 month old appie colt he has put on around 400 lbs in the past 5 months since I purchased him, and now his legs seem to be giving him trouble, his knees are very shakey and he lays down often and has a very difficult time getting back up, he has been lame for several weeks now. Any idea what the cause could be, or how to treat this?
