woolyshepard and elisian I think you are right, I checked again and looked right in the cleat, and then saw a small sore right in the crease, easy to miss so I have sprayed it with anti biotic spray and hopefully it will clear up, thank for telling me it made me check again !!

glad you've sorted it. an agri student told me about scald when i had limping lambs last year, always learning.
