This lovely old girl was spotted limping by her owners. When picked up we saw bumblefoot lesions on both feet! The wet and cold weather and floor material of her outdoor pen probably all contributed to this problem.

A small bit of surgery followed by daily foot baths and antibiotic bandaging helped her make a full recovery! She was a bit put out by having to live in her special pen but dry flooring and padded booties were worth it to get her feet back up and running!
