[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10040"] One thing to add--watch the skin in the area--it can actually be worn thru right down to the bone if left too long. Contracted tendons cause the foot to buckle backwards, ruptured tendons cause the hoof to lift up. They are NOT the same thing and are treated differently. I'm assuming the calf is/was walking on the top of the hoof, thus time or 1/2 3" P VC tubing and padding will work. If it's ruptured tendons, surgery.... Watch her closely to ensure she can get around well enough to nurse, and keep us informed. Sorry about the delay, I've been on call this weekend, and the site was down when I checked earlier! Good Luck V [/QUOTE]
