The sheep does kick its foot a little as Estinien cuts at the bottom of its hoof, but thankfully, with Relena's help, it isn't too difficult to keep hold of. Estinien lifts his shoulders, squinting at the area like he's still trying to determine the answer to that.

"It has a sore on its hoof - surprising as it may be, cracks or punctures to the hooves can develop infections, much as a wound to the flesh would. If left untreated, it can even begin to rot, causing the creature significant pains.

He slices away a few more strips of horn. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to be unearthing any deeper cavities of infection - though, the area surrounding the blackened hoof does bleed a bit. The sheep bleats softly.

"The solution is to cut away the damaged horn, cleansing what is left behind."
