Now how did you manage to get all 4 feet into the photo  :o? Is this ewe a contortionist? Are these from one ewe or are there two hiding behind you???

Errr... I see two feet, each with two cleats... ???

Have they improved any? It may be worth dressing them for a few days.  Give a gentle wash out, alamycin spray, pack again with the paste n vet wrap her some little mittens up to top of hoof,  Change every few days, Keep dry surface under her.  Try n get some sole regrowth after nuking the gunk.
