Cracked hoof and mangled heel

Post by rider400 » Sun Jul 16, 2023 11:11 pm

We are about a week out from fair and our pig is having problems with his hind feet. His right hoof has a Crack, which we repaired with superglue and baking soda.

Both rear pads/heels are looking tore up. He walks on concrete and our rink is sand based.

He lives in a concrete stall and it has rubber mats and bedding.

Here is a link to a picture of his heel/pad:

Let me know what you have done/recommend we do to treat him. My son is bummed, he has been walking him 3x a day for the last 2 weeks to prep for fair. Which is probably how he hurt his feet.

Thank you.
