My mini has been battling laminitus now for 3 months. My farrier came to trim again yesterday and found that the hoof wall was separating. Is this serious enough to put her down?

This is not serious enough to put her down, but it can lead to a disease called "white line disease" which, in most cases, causes a fungus/bacteria to grow in the hoof cracks and makes it painful for the horse to walk. You should talk to your farrier about what's best to do for your horse. Sometimes it's best to let the hoof heal itself naturally, but some need extra attention.

I have a teenage daughter. I read her diary by mistake, and apologized to her. It has been two months now, but she is very angry and misbehaves. What can I do?

Do something that shows your daughter you love her. Maybe take her roller skating or another activity she used to enjoy when she was acting like her old self.

Gold Coast. Looks like one of my Galloway cow (550kg) has, Laminitis. Has been limping for one week now. Cows are in a paddock but grass is growing slowly now (grass mix of rye, millet, kikuyu, carpet grass. I give each cow an additional 1/4 biscuit of barley hay. Could that cause acidosis?

Have your cow checked out by a veterinarian to determine whether it actually is laminitis or something else like foot-rot, a corm in the hoof, a leg injury, etc. The...
