I looked at her hoofs this morning and they look better but still smell a bit. We are planing to get coppertox soon. She is not in pain really she still gets up and walks around with pretty much know problem. How do you do the bleach trimming?

Dip in bleach water and trim hoof.

IMO Koppertox and bleach treatments are a waste of time.

Do you have hoof wall separation?

She has know hoof wall separation. We got beta-dine to treat it. Should i keep her hoofs dry? I trimmed off the affected area of her hoof today. We are putting DMSO on her knees and it has helped a lot. Here is a picture of her. In the pic if you look at her hoof you can see that one side of her hoof is bigger than the other. Any idea of what that could be.

It is only on the bottom. If you look at her hoof the left side is bigger than the right side. Is that a problem?
