We are so grateful for the kind words and caring since Rockette's passing. I know many may be wondering what happened for us to lose a thriving two year old in training.... we now believe after sharing photos with veterinarians from Massachusetts to Texas and in between that she was bitten by a brown recluse spider.... leg swelling turned into two abcess holes and then a large wound. No one could pinpoint the cause of the wound as she only had a very small external flat scab prior. She was on antibiotics and the wound was healing. Multiple vets agreed that it looked as expected for a wound in that area. Three weeks later she walked off a trailer at Mid Atlantic because her trainer thought something didn't look quite right that day and she had been laying down a bit for a few days...but eating, no fever, basically sound, and no heat. She was there within three hours of his call. The vets thought she might possibly have an onset of laminitis but weren't sure as she had no heat and was not foot sore...by friday morning she showed rotation and we agreed she might never race, but we could likely save her. By Friday night her whole internal hoof structure in both front had collapsed and they were suspect her back ones were going. They engaged in pain management until we arrived Saturday to say goodbye. She went from "maybe starting with laminitis " to end of life pain management in 24 hours. The first picture is her leg...the second is from the internet. The more advanced progression photos are graphic, but equally similar. The first is her and the second is from the web. Again, the wound itself was only of concern because she would eventually need a skin graft and the doctors said this was how it would heal....but the rapid systemic laminitis took away any chance she had....we share this so others may be aware of this even if you live where these spiders are uncommon....we bring in straw and shavings from all over.... The vets were never able to determine exactly why all of her feet were impacted so quickly - i.e. what happened systemically at that point - as it was not a weight bearing incident given that the side with the wound also rotated. As with most cases of laminitis, it was secondary to the primary injury/wound....
