A quick upddate for those of you who followed Seamus's developments with Canker.
We have just completed our 3rd week of Prednisolone at a dose of 500mg per day. We are going to continue with this dose for a further two weeks and then reduce to 250mg. The vet visited again today and we are really pleased with his progress. The horn tissue seems to be growing back more normally. We tub his feet every other day in a solution of Virkon. The vet said I can ride him now too - although keep him barefoot still.
Things are definately looking more positive - although having said that - at the current time - the vet does not think they may be a time when we will be able to withdraw the Prednisolone completely - but administer say 75mgs every other day.
