Title: Hoof rot...I guess.
Post by: Wet Chicken on July 18, 2021, 04:36:26 PM: This poor girl had hoof rot (I guess) so bad that looks like she has a cast on her back foot. Had several pics n video of her looking like she was calling out in pain.

Admittedly one picture, and me being a complete nonexpert i am probably not a reliable judge tho. :tung:
