My animal has a bruised hoof but isn't limping. What should I do?

Question

Penelope some how bruised her hoof. Do I need to do anything to it? She didn't act like it hurts her. She's walking fine. She let me look and feel of it. I didn't see anything in it or any puncture wounds of any kind. It wasn't like that yesterday. Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 100 lbs

I don't think you need to do anything at this time. If she starts showing clinical signs of lameness then you should contact your veterinarian for a treatment plan. This probably won't bother her. I feel like if she was going to be lame she would already be showing signs. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
