I didn't think HERDA appeared until later. This guy was born June 2015. Other injured areas are healing fine. Wouldn't a HERDA horse have problems healing everywhere? A vet looked at him before we went to get him and gave vaccines and did a coggins, etc... Wouldn't that vet have known if it was HERDA?
