[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 255174, member: 539"] I can't say that we have ever encountered this problem. I believe I would A) Check the yellow pages, talk to friends and neighbors, and call around to see if a couple of other vets would be willing to consult as I would not have a lot of faith in the original vet considering what you posted. B) Treat the abcess/infection (squeezing pus out of this bulls sheath/penis would indicate an infection/abcess of some type) with systemic antibiotics - I'm just not sure which one to use. The usual protocol for abcesses is to drain them but, considering the location, that may not be possible. Perhaps Nuflor, Excenel, or Excede. I'm not sure Baytril will have much effect as it tends to be more for respiratory stuff as far as I'm aware. I'm also thinking that penicillin is going to be ineffective, due to the number of injections that would be required and the tendency for bulls to get nasty if they have to be ran through a chute for a number of days for treatment. C) Keep him away from any and all cows until he had completey healed up - why aggravate the current situation? I hope this helps. PS I should have also added that you probably want to seriously consider whether you want to procede with treatment or cut your losses, sell this bull and find another one since, as Beefy already stated, this bull will be out of commission for quite a while in all likelihood.
