[QUOTE="Barney, post: 772987, member: 14509"] Rochephin is given IM, but the Vancomycin is given through an IV. A Vet can write a script for it as well as an MD, and you can get Rocephin at any pharmacy. Vancomycin, he may have to order or obtain from local hospital pharmacy. If it were my calf, I would also lance the abscess and irrigate it two or three times a day with Bacitracin, Neomycin, Polymixin B added to a liter of Normal saline, then keep it covered with gauze. Be very careful that whoever is caring for the wound uses gloves and throughly washes and use hand sanitizer after treatments. This may be more costly that you want to get into, but I am an animal lover and have been know to go to great extremes to save my animals. Good luck and BTW how is the calf doing? God Bless [/QUOTE]
