Lame sheep experience pain and should be treated as soon as reasonably practical. Treatment and control should be based on a firm diagnosis, and farmers should be encouraged to seek veterinary attention for animals that do not respond quickly to administered treatment. Overall flock lameness should be minimized through implementing appropriate control measures for the common types of foot lameness caused by infectious agents, including vaccination, antibiotic treatment, footbathing, biosecurity, and culling.
病羊会感到疼痛，应在合理可行的情况下尽快治疗。治疗和控制应基于明确的诊断，如果动物对给予的治疗反应不迅速，应鼓励农民寻求兽医的关注。通过对由传染性病原体引起的常见足部跛行实施适当的控制措施，包括疫苗接种、抗生素治疗、泡脚、生物安全和淘汰，总体羊群跛行应尽量减少。
