hoof

So I noticed a yearling doe limping last week, not baring any weight on her left front foot. Called the vet, and scheduled him to be out this weekend. He came out, crazy abscess between her toes. Drained, flushed and gave her a hefty shot of antibiotics and left it open, moved her to a lush pen...

I have about a month and a half old buck fawn, now on the bottle.  He was brought in with a terrible case of e.coli, but he has recovered since.  He recieved an injection (can't remember the name of the drug offhand). in his back hindquarter, to which a day later he started to knuckle on his...

Good afternoon my fellow deer farmers, hope your fawning season is starting off right.  I've ran into an issue with a doe I AI'ed.   She is do May 20, @ 180 days, She looks breed but not as big as a couple of the others.  All winter she has kind of been light on her front feet but the last few...

My son is telling me that one of our yearling does have damaged her left hoof. He is saying that she sliced off the side of her hoof as if you sliced a piece off an apple off. He does not see any damage to the bottom of the hoof. She is not putting weight on it at all. With all the rain we...

I was wondering if anyone has ever used Iodine to treat a joint infection in a deer. I have a young doe that got an infection in the joint right above the hoof. We had the vet treat it once and then we have lanced it 2 other times and have been using penicillin to flush it out. We have been...

One of my deer cut her hoof a couple weeks ago. Just took about a 3" patch of hide off, not a deep cut at all. It seemed to being okay for a while, but in the last couple days it seems to have swollen quite a bit, and she doesnt want to walk on it much at all. She mostly lays down. She will eat...

I have a buck that has incredably long hooves again, they were long at the end of summer, so when I darted him to switch pens I filed away at them, I spent almost 40 minutes fileing and did not get them down anywhere near where I wanted. Last night I noted his hooves were long again, but...
