lame again, but other leg.

Pie was lame but after numerous vet visits and the egg bar shoes she came sound. Problem is she is now lame very slightly on the other front leg. She went out and came in lame. No heat no swelling and no improvement after box rest. Should i bandage her or not?, turn out or not? could the shoes be the problem? but she is only lame in trot

Poultice the foot. rest in box or yard and re-assess in 5-7 days
if better increase work gradually. if worsens get vet or farrier in immediately. if remains the same get vet in sometime in the next week and may be best worked gently.
Leave egg bars on.
