[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 1115512, member: 2308"] OK, I'm going to try this again... If she only has problems with one claw, and especially if that claw is the outside one, you can have it amputated with very good results. I personally haven't had to deal with frozen feet, but last year we had a heifer with an abscessed claw. We had tried treating it and didn't get anywhere, and in the process of talking with some other producers in the area realized that we could have that claw amputated. We contacted our vet, and he said that yes it wasn't a big deal and once it healed up she would be pretty much back to normal. So last Feb we had it removed and we had the claw removed. We had to keep her in a clean and dry area for a couple weeks and it took a couple months before she was healed up and sound again. Today, a year later you cannot tell that anything happened to her unless you see her foot. [/QUOTE]
