[QUOTE="mitch2, post: 587126, member: 6621"] Point of reference for you that recently happened. Cow limping - Wed, tried to get a look without putting her through the chute, and it looked like something was stuck in her hoof, and it was swollen just above the hoof band. Kept an eye on her. Called the vet on Thurs for Fri appointment cuz she was limping really bad, dragging her leg and swelling was a bit worse. Put her in the corral Thurs night, and Fri morning she wasn't limping hardly at all. Swelling still there. Not sure if she wasn't limping cuz she was feeling better, or from being confined. Vet out - Nothing in her hoof, but it was a bad cut, so he scrapped it, then put a huge globe of some ointment on cotton and wrapped it around her hoof. Long acting antibiotic shot with instructions if the wrapping had not come off by Wed to remove it. We did not have to keep her confined as long as she was on good pasture,which she was. Wed - Have to cut the wrapping off, swelling is extremely bad by this point (been keeping an eye on it) and her limping had gotten worse after vet worked on her. Vet said to just keep an eye on her. Long story longer - It took a good 2 weeks before her limping stopped and at least another week for the swelling to go down completely. I would of swore at one point she was going to go down. But I did keep a real close eye on her, every day, religiously, and as long as she was eating and getting around I let her be. Good luck with yours! Michele [/QUOTE]
