Hi Dr O,

Sometime last night or early this morning, Anuhea managed to take a small chunk out of her left rear hoof heel bulb on the outside. I sprayed with betadine. She is bearing weight, there was no heat or pulse and she is not lame. Anything else I should be doing? Thank you very much. Leilani

Just follow the recommendations in the article on first aid and long term wound care Leilani. These are in the skin sections.
