I am not sure. All I know is that he wants her to see a vet. He told me that a vet was out there before and he is the one that said she had laminitis, but that is all the vet said. He has had a farrier out there to put on different shoes. He DOES need an x-ray. I don't know if he has considered that. I will ask him tonight.
I don't know... If he's had a vet out, it's possible the vet has told him things that explain it that your boss is just relaying part of... Lots of things cause laminitis, from feed to medicine to illness to injury. If there's an issue with hoof growth, that just makes it worse. It sounds like a bad scene regardless.
