How about between his toes?? Sometimes mud gets packed in there and blocks the glands in between toes. If his legs structures are ok...maybe he just pulled muscles or tendons?? Let us know if you figure it out. Beth in OR -- My Ram came up lame a couple of weeks ago. He is not putting any weight on his left rear hoof. I have manipulated all the joints and muscles, and nothing seems to cause him any pain. Otherwise, he is young and healthy, and eats well. Any Ideas?

It helps hoofs to harden. wet weather causes a lot of soft hooves and lack of H. Clovite has H in it.

Re: [Blackbelly] Lame Ram
It could also be as simple as his momma steped on his hoof I had that happen ( as far as I could tell) and the Lamb was fine in about five days.
