I've been thrown for a loop. No clue what's causing this.
Elsa, our newly purchased dame whom we are milking currently, seems to have some sort of hip dysplasia. She always walks as an elderly person who is trying to walk up many flights of steps. She has trouble standing. She sometimes loses her balance and falls to the grind, remaining there for some time. When she walks, her 2 hind legs drag the ground like a lazy child who doesn't feel like lifting his feet when he walks.
I've ruled out scald and foot rot. Looking at her build it looks ok. No open wounds. No missing hair.
She wasn't like this when we first purchased her, but seems to have begun exhibiting signs of feet trouble within a day of being here. We've had her for a month or more now and nothing has gotten better.
We have no vet close to us that work on sheep, the closest being 40 minutes away. None make house calls. No way of getting her there even if we did have the money for a vet visit, which we don't.
I'm all ears for something I've missed.
