what’s wrong with my goat’s hoof?

[dancingflame]

we were cleaning out our goats’ hooves when we noticed one of them had been limping. is there something wrong?

Feet look okay to me, are any of the joints swollen? How bad is the limp? (slight? Very pronounced? Won’t use the foot at all?)

Those hooves look like they need to be trimmed. The nail is grown over in the back it looks to me. The hoof should be pretty much parallel. Other than that no idea.

not too sure if there’s any swelling in the joints, but i want to say maybe no? it’s very difficult for me to tell. here’s a video of her from this morning.

(sorry about the quality, youtube butchered it)

Other than needing a trim I would say she's fine, maybe pulled or stressed something and is conpensating fir it but fine otherwise

Yeah I’m also guessing she just pulled/twisted it funny. Maybe seperate her so she doesn’t have to run around after everyone for a few days so she can heal.
