2-25-12: Harley has new shoes which are rolled in the front, and we are gradually raising his heels. He has received 2 rounds of Shockwave therapy on his left front pastern and 1 on the right. Today he got his second shot of Pentosan. This evening, 10 hours later, there was a marked improvement in his left front! Hoping and praying that the combination of treatments will bring him at least to a point where we can walk, trot and canter on good footing. Not sure if there will be any jumping in his future, but that's okay. If he's improved this much after only 2 shots, he may be sounder than ever before after the next 2 loading doses. Then he goes on monthly shots. Hard to tell if the Shockwave has helped, since he was on Bute when he got his first treatment, and had already started the Pentosan when he got the second treatment. But throwing everything at his legs hoping one or the other or both will help.
