First of all, the major problem is the blood supply of the hoof and foot. If that is compromised to the point that adequate blood supply doesn't get to the foot, there is really nothing that can be done short of euthanasia.

I don't understand why a horse has to be euthanized in that case. Can't they just amputate the leg? I've seen several three-legged dogs that got around just fine.
