I'm looking at the Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep. It says it could be something stuck in the hoof, foot rot, or a blocked foot gland. Check to see if there's...
It sounds like foot rot or a blocked gland (or both) to me as well. Another good remedy for foot rot that we use is a mix of antibiotic (available at any feed...
