Hoof Problems

Posted by Helene on June 24, 2002 at 11:07:49:

Ugg..Seem to have hoof problems w/Jessie. I don't want to call it hoof rot, because nothing looks rotten but definatly something wrong. When Jessie was pregnant (she is a white spanish) her hoofs sort of spread..you know like your feet do when a human is pregnant..or mine did anyway..They just look horrible still. I have been treating her w/Sulfa Dimethox which is suppose to help w/hoof rot, (I also use it for Cocci prevention for the babies) but I am not sure if that is what she has. She seems to be limping slightly so you know they are uncomfortable for her. Hoofs don't need to be trimmed, and she is the only one who has this problem, everyone elses big and little feet look fine.

I am not sure if there is anything else I should be doing or putting on them Any suggestion?

Also wanted to mention while I was online, Eris's head seems to be doing good (knocking on wood as I am typing) The smaller hole is pretty much healed up and the larger one is definatly healing. No complications so far. Of course she is not liking the bandaging, she sees me coming w/the gauze and the tape and she tries to make a run for it!! Have to have one of my boys hold her while I do her head, and she just stands there, looking at me with that "whhhyyy meeee" look on her face..Then shakes her head for like 5 min when I am done..
