[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 651844, member: 6797"] Life goes on. As a guy who raises HH I can tell you it happens and it happens more often than folks realize. If you want - you have some choices - here is what we usually do. 1. Cut it off - if you want to - sometimes we do this depending on the type and condition of the break. 2. If you want to keep it - for your info - they do heal. Just like a finger nail - which in essense is what it is. You can put him in the squeeze and not run him into the head gate and look at it. We spray the wounds with a spray called Bleu - which is an over the counter wound powder - I am sure there are several other equivalents out there on the market. It also coats the wound and keeps the flies off. If you are really concerned you can give this critter a shot of the antibiotic of your choice as well - it will not hurt him. Leave him alone after this and he will do just fine. 3. Or you can do what often works just as well - neglect it - let nature take it's course. This often works just fine as well.
