Lame Goat Need Advice (Pics)

[hoovershounds]

I have a doe with a swollen knee who's leg appears to be turned. I trimmed her about 2 weeks ago & the hoofs were good then. I checked her hoofs today & they are still hard & no abrasions. She does not seem to be bending at the knee when she walks & I also had trouble bending the leg when I checked it. I have no idea what to look for or how to treat this. Any help is appreciated.


This is how she is walking on it

I am not sure what is going on, but the hooves themselves look fine.

Oh crap! sorry I said they needed trimed after I seen the pictures for a second! Is there any rocks in their? Was so tested for CAE? I know some does I have trimmed their feet they couldn't bend the leg. Have her/him tested for CAE.

She has very poor hoof conformation as seen in the splay toe even on the other front foot. But I would wonder about CAE with her not having a knee pad on that leg. I would trim the left front claw much shorter so when you pull the toes down together they are level...but fix it, no, it would make her more comfortable when she walks. Vicki

I have trimmed the inside toe down as far as I can and when the two toes are together they are even. When she walks the leg is twisted out so that the side of the inside toe is pointed foward & I think the weight is going on the other toe. Also when she lays down she will paw the ground a couple of times with the affected leg and then lay down with it straight out in front of her, never bending the leg. I thought about tapeing the toes together so that she would be walking on both of them but did not know if this would hurt more than help. I don't have any experiance with cae except what I have read on here. Would it be cae with only one leg being affected? Gusse I will have to see if the vet can be of any help.
Thanks

Goats with CAE can have only one swollen knee. I would definately have her tested. I have my vet send the blood to WADDL at WSU.
