[@=/u/65471/mlm-Mike]@mlm Mike[/@] [@=/u/372869/daxigait]@daxigait[/@] and who else has kept goats forever?
I had the farrier out to look at Beaux's hooves and try to shape them up for me. He worked on it a but but said he's never seen anything quite like it. He said Beaux is walking on the balls (?) of his hooves and stands like a horse does when it has foundered. His back hooves are the worst. I took more pics today, hoping we can get some suggestions? He said he's going to do some research, and that he'll try anything that is suggested. He didn't charge me for the trim.
I think you just need to keep working with them and trim or file often to get them back, I trim at least every six weeks, have you trimmed them yet? I think foot soaking helps and or after a long rain. Some people actually put roofing shingles on an incline so it helps keep their hooves in shape, if you grind file or trim if your getting to pink stop and try again each week. from what I know about foundered goat hooves is that its genetic and should not be bred too. It can be extremely painful for the goats. @campingshaws
Well on this one:when you figure it out let me know please.... My guess is SET ALL EGGS
Quote: Thanks! I can def put shingles on their ramp. I put concrete out there but they don't seen to use it? Maybe I can build a play thing like yours with the shingles on it.
He's a wether, no worries about breeding. You think trim with the shears or get a rasp? I can shape weekly and put on deep straw like ChickenCanoe said.
yep dont even need a big pad at top of it, just the up and down they have fun with! use logs that are wide enough to stand upright and then just long 2x6 or something with the shingles cut or wrapped around them, let me know what you come up with!
