[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10584"] In general, having ascertained that there is definitely no fracture, I'll put the animal in a small area with soft but not muddy ground. Here, since there's a foot or more of snow on the ground, that would be in a well bedded pen. Elsewhere, grass would be good--but not gravel--and no slope. I'll let her take her time healing but expect almost perfect in 10-14 days. If it's taking longer than that, there's something more wrong and I'll usually drop them and do a full exam on the hoof, foot and more. Footrot will also cause pain, limping and swelling above the hoof. Treat with long acting tetracyclines (ie LA) so please be sure of your diagnosis. Also a local vet is an excellent resource! Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
