[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1523981, member: 24027"] The fact that it's noticeably swollen, yes, I'd get her in. Could be just a sprain but I've also had a limping bull with swelling near the hock, no other symptoms. Vet shaved his leg & discovered a scar. Opened it up and pus oozed out like an ice cream machine. Sooo gross! Evidently had a cut at some point in time that healed on the outside but not inside. On the other hand, I noticed one limping today and see no obvious signs: no swelling, no debris between the toes, no cracks in the hoof, stuck my finger between her toes (she's super docile) and it didn't reek of foot rot so I am just going to watch her for now - especially since she isn't even remotely close to either of the pens/chutes. Good luck & please keep us updated! [/QUOTE]
