[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1236598, member: 852"] Best option - vet. Second best option - clean it up, cut off whatever is hanging (assuming you're talking about hoof wall), and wrap it. If there's more involvement than just hoof wall you definitely need a DVM opinion as a claw amputation may be the right course of action. The majority of weight in the hind legs is carried on the outside claw so this is definitely worth having it looked at - if any of the joints in that area become infected she'll be on three legs.
