[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1765244, member: 24027"] Yes. And no. It is a sulfonamide, and sulfas work great on foot rot if caught early. But with Albon, you're going to have to give her 1 bolus for every 200 lbs. for 3-4 days. If at all possible, I highly recommend Sustain III Cattle Boluses. You can generally get them at feed supply stores, Co-Ops, your vet, online. 1 bolus per 200 lbs. and lasts 3 days. I use them in conjunction with Banamine Transdermal when they're out to pasture and I can't get them in and it's very rare I have to re-treat. Now, how to administer? My girls are hand feeders and I can usually break one in half and shove them in their mouth with a couple cubes. Time consuming but works. That said, I've also broken them up into small chunks and mixed them with cubes, maybe a little mineral with CTC, even calf starter and drizzled molasses (not too much) over the pile. If she's a little skittish, if you leave it in a bowl relatively close, she'll find it. Banamine Transdermal is the bomb if you can get close enough to pour it down their back (like a drench) and is also good for 3 days. Even if it's something more serious than foot rot, the Transdermal will make her feel significantly better and easier to catch. Had a bull a couple years ago that was limping, off by himself & hiding in the woods. Only bull I've ever had that wasn't a hand feeder, so resorted to the concoction in the bowl & doused him with Transdermal from a somewhat safe distance. Worked like a charm and he actually ate the chunks of bolus first! [ATTACH type="full"]21157[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
