Okay I am not sure what to do if there is anything I can do...
I have a doe who is around 3 years old, she's a very large boer doe, has kidded once, and is a bit over weight. She doesn't graze much, and has a slight copper def. so we're getting ready to give her copper <THANK YOU DENISE!>.
My girl has a bit of hoof rot that I finally dug up yesterday so she is lame but had to open it up. But today when I was treating her foot, I saw some blood on her belly.
For a while now on the bottom of her belly just behind her front legs she has had a big bald spot like what they get on their knees <she lays down a lot>, and it looks like callus' or something of that sort, now and then she gets scabs , and when she scratches she callus looking things, it causes sores.
There is no puss, or anything of that sort, it's all flat. Otherwise her body is clean, and looks good, it's just that particular spot and I've been dealing with this all summer.
Anyone else dealt with this? Any ideas on what I can do to help keep it from getting worse? She's such a sweetie, a very very quiet doe who likes to keep to herself, and she has the sweetest face/eyes.
She's not miserable, I think I am more miserable with concern...LOL
