[QUOTE="J&T Farm, post: 418008, member: 2314"] Well the bull is still 3 legged lame. We have been doing some research and wondering if this might be a coronary band abscess. Has anyone had any experence with these? My husband is a horseshoer and he knows how to bust an abscess in a horses foot but its alot different looking at a cows foot. The leg is swollen around the hairline. He will not put any weight on the leg at all. The vet said it was a joint infection. But as sore as it is we think he has an abscess in there. We spoke to another vet who does not practice anymore but he said it was a abscess and it has so much pressure built up it is very painful. but he said if it bust the bull should be fine. We hate to butcher him if we knew it was just an abscess. And that it would get better if we can bust it. He is still eating good and staying in pretty good shape considering he has been lame for 3 weeks. Any advice on the abscess is welcome. Vets are hard to come buy around here, except the one we already called. And that didn't do us much good. So I guess its up to us to either try something new or give up and butcher him. [/QUOTE]
