Hey everyone! So my poor guy Benji has had an ongoing issue with his front legs. I looked it up and it resembles greasy heel. Since I took this picture I've worked on his feet and have used hoof n' heal. That seemed to work well for his one leg, but the other is still struggling. What do you...

First (again) I apologize for a super long post (how many do i have now? like 20?) So, I always say something to the effect of "at the risk of sounding like a horrible goat owner..." but I've learned from you all that sometimes, being a good goat owner doesn't mean crappy things don't happen. On...

I recently purchased Davis sheep/goat boots to protect my goat's feet while treating for hoof rot. Is this safe to do in the winter months with a packed dressing?

I ran out of Dr. Naylor Hoof n' Heal and today I went to tractor supply and I think I got the wrong thing. I got Manna Pro Hoof + Heal which name is stupidly close, but It seems to do the opposite thing. Am I correct in assuming that this will not work? If it won't work, is there anything I...

Trudie, our Katahdin lamb, has what we think is foot scald. She has been limping for a few days, no swollen joints, no visible injuries and no hot feeling anywhere. Last night we were finally able to find something between her toes. It seemed there was a little bit of drainage and a dead, rotten...

I was trimming one of my Nigerian dwarfs hooves and noticed an indentation in one of his soles. It doesn't look bad but I'm still curious about what it could be? The ground is pretty muddy in their pen, but they have plenty of spaces to climb and get off the ground.

Hi all! I’m still newish to taking care of goats and I only learned how to trim hooves a few months ago. We live in a rocky area and they only need it a few times a year. It’s been really wet lately and today I noticed a black hole on the wethers back hooves. I think maybe they are swollen too...

Having a rough week. My doe has pink eye, one eye was swollen shut yesterday. I started treating her with Biomycin yesterday and again today, as well as spraying with vetericyn pink eye spray. Today, her eye is better, slightly cloudy but open. Now she is limping badly and her front feet...

Hello there, We've been trimming our goat hooves this past week and we found some hoof rot. I've read that a zinc sulfate dip would help them, and would honestly be easier than applying some kind of spray twice a day to 15 goats. However, I can't seem to find any specific dips or treatments...

I have a Nigerian Dwarf, probably about 4 years old. His hooves grow unusually fast, and I have already trimmed them for the 3rd time this spring. Instead of the dark sole under the hoof I trimmed off, I am seeing the softer white type of material that should be only on his heel. I trimmed at...

I bought 2 nubian does a couple months ago and they came with terribly overgrown stinky hooves. I have the younger ones back in shape pretty well but the 5 year olds feet are really crumbly appearing. If that makes sense. It also appears like the soft part of her front hooves have separated from...
