Post by: Orinoco on October 15, 2014, 10:28:11 pm
Hi,

Ive just had a cob stand on mini sheep's hoof and dis lodged, i understand i need to wait for it to regrow, and so far cleaned with salt water wrapped in kitchen roll a n d wrapped with a create bandage for 36 hours, then gave antibiotics and pain killer.  Intend taking bandage off 2moro, have i done right with what i have avai liable. Not ponys fault but still not good.

Run the little one into the vet that's what I would do, I'd worry about bone infection.   Even with bandaging etc bacteria could still get in, good luck xx
