Case Study 2 - BERT - Simple ALD
BERT at birth
Bert at 2 months old Pre Trim
Right Leg
• valgus at knee,
a 22˚ deformity
NO spontaneous correction has occurred.
The first 2 months of
high growth period
have been lost
Bert 7 hours after first trim
Step 1
• Align bony column
In the 2nd visit, owner’s wife advised that she was no longer worried about the right front limb and would I please get the other 3 feet going in the same direction – which I did.
N.B. Bert was only treated twice before owner reverted to current farrier and vet once limb was straight so no Step 2, as maintenance reverted to original team.
