Question Rut roh, we've got a limper this morning

Seems goofy has a little limp one of her back legs.
She still went to nurse this morning when I let the mama's in, no problem, and generally she's a pretty timid nurser, so that was good to see.
First glance, don't see any obvious signs of trauma, hoof could use a little trimming but nothing appeared lodged. I'm going to pull her aside in a minute
and check closer, anything else I should look for?

I would imagine she just pulled it springing around... Thoughts?

Oh, Good morning

You've got the drill down. Check, trim if necessary, watch closely for a couple of days, don't panic.
