I noticed a cow today having issues with her right, back foot. She stands with it touching the ground, but when she walks, she hops and doesn't put much weight on it. It seems swollen all around just above the hoof, but the leg is not swollen above the ankle area, and she can kick with that leg. There is no sign of an abrasion, and flies aren't attacking as if there was a wound.
Any ideas of what it could be? Does it sound like she probably has something stuck up her foot?
