    Just noticed one of my ewe lambs limping and turned her over to have a look. Hard to describe but there was like a semi transparent growth over most of her two front feet. Gave her an antibiotic spray but wondering if I should pare it all off? Checked a few other lambs and they were fine. Any ideas? Thanks

    Would it be a form of orf?

    Is it on the bottom of the hoof, looks normal except it's a bit see through/white?

    Yes, that's it. What do you think?
