We have a small flock of Hill Radnors, and our previous ram was never quite right in his feet. Shelley hoof, limping, etc. We got rid, and bought a posh new yearling at the recent show. He was ok in a field with his wether-consort for a couple of weeks, and now he's in with the ewes but the bugger also now has foot problems.
We saw him kneeling to eat and favouring a front foot, so we caught and examined him: no smell, nothing overgrown, no compacted mud, no heat. Sprayed them purple (not antibiotic, not blue) and left him alone. Couple of days later he's kneeling and limping again. Going to go out and have another look at him now but if there're no signs, what to do?
