Joseph Limping

Joseph has been limping for a few days so we had Sonny Lepley, Farrier take a look while he was here trimming the Donkey hooves. We had examined his hooves for wedged stones or thorns but didn't see anything. Sonny noticed right away that his sole was worn off. Most likely he tore it off trying to climb the fence to get at the ewes. We've moved him into a smaller paddock away from the ewes for a few weeks until breeding. We'll keep an eye on his left front hoof for swelling or redness and apply aniseptic if necessary.
