Possibly a niacin def? You do have her on at least 125-150mgs of niacin daily?

This could all just be a niacin def! She is getting 22.5 mg per gallon in her water, plus 28.54 mg per lb. in her feed. The people at the feed store told us that this should be enough! We are going to the store soon to buy niacin. I remember it is supposed to be just straight up niacin. Do I buy the 500 mg or the 100 mg capsules? I am looking at the natural ones, not the time released or flush free stuff.
 
If you get either dose just cut to get the 150mg dose per day. Crush and add to water on over feed. since she is getting some in feed and water already just go with the 100mg dose.

How long does the vet want to keep her leg wrapped? and what about her foot doesn't look like it was wrapped flat?

We come back every week for 3 weeks to get it rewrapped. That is what I was thinking. She wrapped it loosely....I think I will ask her to leave her foot unwrapped so I can put a boot on. What do you think?
