I think it may be from thrush or "hoof rot" and her hoof came off.
It's very painful for her. The guy at the feed store is giving me a boot for her today!!! He just told me he'd give it to me, he had some extras
She's such a nice goat - but she is an escape artist!! She tore out of her small pen, into the big pen for the others, then into another part of the big pen, thinking she'd escape. I got her back but not before she scared the beejeezus out of the other goats and the chickens!!! It was quite a sight
Most people would just say "oh well" and slaughter her. We want to adopt her out if she heals up, or we'll just keep her.
Jenn-she was a stray and some guy called and wanted our help with her. In her condition (I took lots of pics) I doubt we'll have issues keeping her.
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
