==Signalment==

==Clinical Signs==

==Clinical Signs==

An enlargement of the toe which is associated with the development of a large cavity between the wall and the pedal bone, particularly on the medial aspect. If the hoof wall is tapped over the defect,a hollow sound is produced. Normally the condition does not cause lameness unless there is concurrent infection or there is severe instability of the hoof wall, which can cause inflammation of the laminae and pain. The area of the hoof affected is variable.
