Hoof issues

[Stang7222]

I'm only 2 month into being a goat owner and I've run into an issue with hooves. I tried soaking in Epsom salt and treating with hoof n heel for 3 days but all that seemed to do was cause pain. Today I tried spraying with Bactine.

I have someone coming on Friday to trim her hooves and teach me how but I'd like to get started with the treatment ASAP.

Any guidance would be awesome!

Does she chew at her feet a lot?

I'd try a Betadine soak, clip back all that hair so the place will dry out and then keep her in a clean, dry place. After it dries out a bit, I'd apply Nustock until healed. https://www.nustock.com/

Nustock is worth every penny to have on hand for various and sundry things for animals of all kinds.

She does chew her feet a little. I have a vet coming by Friday afternoon to take a look. In the meantime I'll order some Nustock, it seems pretty handy.

Thanks

Update:

The vet came and cleaned Sofia up a bit for me. She gave a zinc injection. She also gave me:

Zinpro 120: 1/2 tablespoon with feed once a day for 14 days

Oxytet soaked gauze: scrub once a day for 5 days.

The great news is she says my little herd seems very happy and healthy!
