[QUOTE="Ozhorse, post: 1118415, member: 18575"] I can answer how it might be possible to have hoof tissue without P1, P2 or P3. Since the bone does not produce the hoof tissue, if you remove the bone the hoof tissue and other tissue is still there, like a sock without a foot in it. There is not anything to keep it solid and it might be mushy, but horn can still grow. Not necessarily a pretty thought. I am currently working on a series of photos of the case study of one claw on one foot of one of the sheep that has lost the P1 from both claws over the last 14 months. It is taking a lot longer for me to load it all onto photobucket than I anticipated but should be there some time soon. [/QUOTE]
