[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 255202, member: 539"] Ok, I respect that, but I've got another question for you - how difficult is it to diagnose an abcess? For the average cattleman, diagnosing an abcess is no big deal, except for this particular area since it's a hit or miss kind of deal - not trying to be a smarty pants. :lol: :lol: At the risk of being indelicate - it seems to me that a vet has the means to diagnose an abcess, even in this area, if he/she is competent - I've been present for semen collection, testing, etc. It doesn't take that long to have a good view. Vicky, perhaps you would care to comment on this? Another area of concern for me was that the antibiotic was administered 'directly into the abcess', without any follow-up directions (at least, according to the original poster) now maybe our vets are different - but an abcess is usually a reaction from [i]the body[/i] to foreign objects being introduced - would it not follow that treatment would be systemic? Perhaps this particular vet is looking to increase his coffers a little at the expense of his client? Just a thought. Another point of concern is the directions to hose this bull off - since bulls 'extend' so irregularly, how exactly is tryinhard supposed to do this? And what exactly is it going to accomplish, anyway? The first blast of cold water and that penis is going to be back in the sheath, you know that as well as I do. Comments? [/QUOTE]
