[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 686598, member: 852"] From that pic she really doesn't look that bad off. I've seen them worse... and shucks, my 311 cow had footrot much worse than that and she's still with me and sound 4 1/2 years later. Is she bearing any weight on it? main problem with those things is that if they don't walk on the hoof it doesn't get blood flow, which means no antibiotics are actually making it to the hoof. You also get lower antibiotic blood concentrations with the IM/SC route than if you go the IV route. IV her with oxytet if you can and I'll bet you'll see a much better response. Soaking it is good; I always used hot water and epsom salts. Also, if you can, might see if you can't flush out that draining pocket with water and iodine or chlorhexidine. [/QUOTE]
