Title: medi boots?
Post by: fiestyredhead331 on August 24, 2014, 08:45:50 pm

does anyone know where I can get protective medi boots for the goats in the UK? Found perfect ones in the US but would rather get them in this country if I can.
something like this......

Lots of dog boots here (http://canineconcepts.co.uk/en/23-dog-boots), it was a large, strong dog boot I used on a tup once.

The only issue with the disosable ones is they make the foot sweat. It does keep dirt out and dressings on so just have to weigh up what you are trying to achieve.

maybe good for through the day, have one with a bit of an infection between her toes but the ground around the shed is pretty muddy with all the rain we've had lately. Thought it might be good for daytime then take it off at night when she's in her dry bed?
