Hey everyone, remember that ram lamb that broke his foot and I had to set. Great news! It healed. Now, with all great news there is always bad news.
I don't know if he has foot rot, scald or some other kinda messy problem but the pic should speak clear enough. What you are looking at is his nail peeling off. Under that is fleshy looking dirty... stuff. Meat? Flesh? It doesn't stink, at least to me but I haven't stuck my nose right next to it either.
My first thoughts are that I need to start a foot bath regiment anyway so now is as good a time as any. Anything else you all would recommend? Also, should I wrap that hoof in anything to keep the dirt from getting in there? I would think not simply because that seems as though it would keep moisture in which is probably bad.
I have some blue coat and also some vetericyn as well. Should I be spraying either on and if so how often?
