[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1299945, member: 9267"] If a toe snaps off, most likely the entire hoof is under-run and out of shape from an abscess that wasn't noticed previously and all that's been lost is some dead tissue. Animal for slaughter soon - as long as he's not seriously lame, I wouldn't worry too much. If it was a keeper you want to examine the hoof and fix it, cut off the overgrown and dead horn so that the foot bears weight correctly and wears evenly. That's a job for a vet or someone experienced at hoof trimming. [/QUOTE]
