I'm having a recurring problem with footscald in sheep. Nothoofrot, but very irritated raw skin up between the hoof. Its been very dry here, not a mud situation. I've been thinking of putting some sort of walk through tray inside barn door with powdered zincsulfate and lime mix. Any ideas on type of lime and would this just be more irritating? Any other ideas?

I wonder if bag balm might work or wonder dust for horses?
