He had frost bite over the winter and lost the 2 back hoofs. Who can I go to to help me find something for him. I've had to bottle feed him and care for him for several months now. Its hard for him to get around due to one of the hoofs did grow like a hoof nail back but its causing him more harm than good. If I could find something for him to get around on it would be great. Any suggestions? Thanks I am looking to find a prosthetic for a growing calf on his 2 back hoofs.

The tradional form of neutering was created in 1802 and it involves the permanent removal of the pets body part. As a result, it was become out culture to accept emascualtion of our pets as being the norm. Over 277,000 pet owners Worldwide have Neuticled their pets by over 28,000 participating facilities in all 50 states and 51 countries Worldwide. Fact is, pet owners are now neutering with Neuticles that simply would not have neutered before and as a result pet over population is being reduced and those Neuticled pets are living longer, happier and healhtier lives. If that is "crazy" then the writer of this piece must think a cure for cancer would be insain.
