[QUOTE="dun, post: 28168, member: 34"] The first thing I think of when more then one limb is involved is "fescue foot", but that generally doesn't realy start showing up until a little later in the year when the endophyte gets particularly bad and the grass is heading out. But this year the fescue is heading out here, about a month and a half early. What I do is get her in the chute and hose off the feet very thoroughly and examine thme for the obvious, stones between the claws, or sores of some type. Look particularly close at the rear of the foot just where the hoof proper ends and the leg hair starts. If you are in an area that was a dairy in the past it could be hairy heel warts, although beef cows aren;t usually bothered by them. Feel the hoof walls and the corona and see if they feel hot, that can mean either an infection or fescue foot. Keep an eye on her and watch for improvment or if it gets worse. If possible you could try moving her to another type of forage base. That pretty much exhausts my ideas. dun [/QUOTE]
