Thanks for your help. I will be straight up with them tomorrow. If no answer, I will call the state board, report him, and contact their malpractice insurance. Time to stand tall and strong!

An update... talked to the vets office today in person. First the partner, not the one that did the procedure. He apologized profusely, said he was on-call and didn't know what happened with their phones, and felt very bad for what we experienced over the weekend. He said they would talk and...

I would like to share with anyone new to the cutting castration method on the larger calves, if a testicle is not properly detached from the body, and the calf is bleeding, not just a drip or two, but a steady flow, please know there are medical procedures that should be done. One is for the vet...

I really appreciate you sharing your hearts with me. I have learned more than you know the last 48 hours. This whole thing could have gone so differently had I known, and now I do. I guess that is the whole journey of the farm and animals, and perhaps life. I will go the the vet clinic...

Thank you all for your kindness, caring, and support. Rocky died today. My heart is broken as I saved his life at a week old, he has been my buddy since, and I will miss him. :cry2:

Do you recommend cutting them at a younger age? What has been your experience and what do you prefer to do? Cut? Band? Ages? thanks a ton, and Happy New Year :)

Awesome! Thank you!! :tiphat:

Thank you, I totally agree with heading that one off at the pass. I'm guessing this whole thing started out as a common sense and financial thought... oh, this makes sense, I have too much pasture for the horses to keep eaten down, I'll throw some cows on it and get an agriculture property tax...

Not a clotting disorder, it was when the vet cut him to castrate, he missed a cord with the twisting tool, and then just pulled it off in a yanking motion. The vet knew it would bleed, and just sent us home anyway. Had I known this was a possibility, I would have spoken up when he clamped the...

Was able to track down a vet, nothing we can do about the blood loss, we are giving electrolytes, and moved hay bales around to create a 3 sided enclosure with straw bales for insulated walls. I made a command decision to use the other one for meat, and keep this one as the pasture mower...

He stood up an hour ago, drank water, sniffed his grain, but not interested in eating anything. I called the vets, but apparently they are only Mon-Fri 8-5, no on-call. I didn't know that existed?.. I layed by him until 230 am, had a wool blanket on both of us, he snuggled his head right up to...

I had my 2 dairy bull calves (11 months old) cut this afternoon at the vets. Holstein/Jersey mix, in great health. One had a problem during procedure, vet just grabbed the string looking thing and yanked on it when the whole testicle and parts didn't twist off with the tool. He was still...
