Would like some advise on what I should do with a 6-year-old cow (my best cow... up to this point) that has a very large split or cracked claw that extends from the top of the toe to the bottom of the claw - vertical. She is not getting around very well, but is able to eat and walk gingerly on it. I had a vet take a look at her a couple of days ago and he cleaned and trimmed the claw saying that it would take some of the pressure off and she would get some better but would have good days and bad days.
I have never had a cow with a situation like this and would like to salvage her if possible. Now I don't want to spend a lot of money either, but I would like to know if any of yall have had experiences with split or cracked claw and what recommendations do yall have. The sale is tomorrow and if I need to cull her I will take her then. I will appreciate any advice.
