Had a tup lamb have it, having been to a show. Really nasty!

I used deep formalin footbaths on all of them and antibiotics and terramycin spray on him, plus washing out the hole on the top of his hoof every day with saline. OMG, I'd forgotten how awful it was.

Fortunately it didn't seem to take hold on the land and I'm free of it again  :fc:
