It was an XL castrating banded by wadsworth manufacturing

Yes indeed!!!

thanks for the responses! I’ll give him a few more days. His appetite hasn’t changed he’s just slow about getting to the bunk. This is a first for me so when one looks funky I tend to want some answers! Thanks again !!!

Is tetanus a concern this early? Or should those symptoms come when the sack falls off?

Thanks TC

I’m sure there’s a thread on here about this issue but i like posting to start new! I recently banded some 5 weights. They were given covexin 8 then given the second round 21 days later.. timeframe between 2nd shot and banding was roughly 3-31/2 weeks. One of the boys was pretty well endowed...

These have grew quiet large on just 2 of them.. in the neck region and down onto the shoulder.

Not sure on the batch number but that is odd to have the same problem. My vet is going to come lance mine. A few have busted open already. I’m not sure if I could lance them myself

He’s not backing up from feed and water so I’ll hold off on banamine. Vet did tell me to go 3 days of dexamethesone for inflammation.

Iv I’ve got rain coming today and tomorrow. I have injectable banamine would you recommend that?

After further review this afternoon I’ve came to the conclusion along with my cattle buyer that they are abscesses.. not a good situation for the time of year. There doctored and quarantined so time will tell.

I’m leaning towards a foot injury of some sort for the limping also. My vet said the 7 and 8 way shots are notorious for lumps larger than usual.. said all animals react different

Best I can remember he was the last one to go through and he wasn’t happy about it!! I’ve seen knots on cattle after an LA shot but these are larger in size than what I’ve ever seen. I questioned foot rot and will check it out this afternoon. Thanks TC

Hello all! Recently vaccinated 10 feeder bulls with Bovi shield gold one shot and covexin 8. 4 out of 10 have developed a pretty good sized lump around the injection site. 1 of those is starting to limp on his front leg.. all are up and eating drinking. Just curious to see what y’all have...

Vet seemed to think it was swelling from the banding process. But he wants me to be sure he is in fact urinating. Thanks again !!
