My father is a veterinarian in central Wisconsin and recently sent this in an email;

“We have people turning in legs off of deer that they have found dead on their property.  One guy from down by Fall River.  And then Betsy has found 4 dead deer on her property and 3 of them have the hoof rotting of on one foot.  Some of them look like something has exploded right at the hair line of the hoof called the coronary band.  Have you hear of any of this?  There is one disease called EHD, Epizootic Hemorhagic Disease that kills deer and some of them their hoof sloughs but not to the extent that these deer show.  Interesting.”

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Scott Elford
