We have a young Sim-Angus bull, has been workin good, but couple of weeks ago, I noticed something different when he got excited, I thought he may have gotten stung by a yellow jacket, wasp, or whatever, but after several days it hadn't gone down, took him to the vet. n he has a longer sheith, than should be, being the breed he is, but its there just the same, Took him to the vet. n he said he thought that maybe after servicing a cow, maybe it hit a stick, or a piece of wire, or something like that, said may have gotten grass seed, or something on it n it drew up in his sheath, he squeezed puss out of it, then gave some anti biotic, said it was the strongest thing that he had, 3 cc's. Gave the shot right in the abscess. I will take him back tomorrow for a check up, There is only one cow that has calved lately that he will have to service soon, He said it didn't look good, n may have to get rid of him, I hope to hear it will be fine, tomorrow, but have any of you ever encountered a problem like this, if so, how did it work out for you. n how did u treat it? He also told me to try to spray water on him 3 or 4 times a day if I had a place to do that, n I dont' have water anywhere near the catch pen, n if left alone in there he will tear the old catch pen down. Cause its old.
