[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 360985, member: 1604"] Founder Signs Lameness caused by heat and pain around the coronet of the hoof. Reluctance to move. The animal may lean back to take the weight off the front feet so that feet are forward of vertical. Gait is shuffling and stumbling. Cause Inability of the animal to digest high-grain rations. Founder is an occasional end result of lactic acidosis. Protein level of the ration may be deficient. Treatment Mild cases often recover without treatment, provided the ration is corrected. More severe cases require urgent veterinary attention. When an animal recovers from grain poisoning, feedlot bloat or founder, it rarely performs satisfactorily and should be culled. [/QUOTE]
