[QUOTE="Ozhorse, post: 1114618, member: 18575"] I just re-read your post. She has had the injury 5 weeks +. That means that if she still has a hoof now she is not that bad. You need to handle her and catch her and halter break her. She might just have a foot abscess on top of the injury. The main reason we put down various sheep in the treatment and healing process was that they got bad foot abscesses consequent. Foot abscesses are very very painful and can cause severe arthritis in the joint. It wont do her any harm to treat her now like she has a foot abscess. If she has a foot abscess get penicillin and or tetracycline into her. Catch her and carefully examine the foot closely. Clean it well. The swelling makes it seem more like abscess to me. If there is separation at the coronet get the foot strapped up so if the hoof comes off she does not walk it into the dirt. To me it would seems to be cheaper to look after the foot carefully than fuss with egg harvesting on such a young animal. Take some photos and post them somewhere and link to them if you cant put them on this site. [/QUOTE]
