[QUOTE="Bez, post: 33261, member: 412"] Not enough info here. What type of ground was the animal originally on? Is the animal in pain? Leaking any fluids? And so on. If the animal is walking normally - turn her out. I suspect what we call sand cracks. Many different breeds can have small cracks form in the hoof. It does not have an adverse affect on the animal. If the animal is in pain - then the problem is obviously more serious. Have the vet in for a look see. If the problem persists - then cull it to prevent it from carrying on into the next generation. If all the animals but one are experiencing the same problem - and it causes you worry and them pain - then cull them all - use the proceeds to buy replacements and save the trouble and worry. Best regards Bez [/QUOTE]
