I have a ewe that has been limping for close to a week. My husband and I looked at it last week. However, we didn't find any problems. So, last night, we checked her out again. We trimmed all her feet since we had her tipped. There is no sign of trouble - nothing smelly, nice and dry between toes, and didn't see any abcess. What would you recommend? Should we just give her some meds? If so, what should we give her and what is the dosage? Thanks for helping.

Sometimes sheep just limp. As long as its not hot or swollen, hooves are okay, I would leave it be. Probably just sprained something. If she's not better in another week, I would have the vet look at it to see if they can find anything.
