[QUOTE="J&T Farm, post: 421423, member: 2314"] Well update on the bull, we took him off the antibotics about 2 weeks ago, I have been keeping it hosed down everyday, and spraying Iodine on it. We are pretty sure now that it is an abscess, spoke with another vet. He could not understand why the other vet thinks it was a joint infection instead of a simple abscess. Yesterday he got excited because we brought the cows up in a field next to him. I noticed he was putting a little weight on the foot about every third step. When I went to hose it down I noticed some green pus looking stuff coming from around the hairline. Today when he came up for feed he put it on the ground and picked up the other leg, there was more of the same stuff coming out of it. I think it might be trying to drain, he still don't put it on the ground much when he walks but he does rest it flat on the ground when he is just standing there. And before he held it up off the ground all the time. I hope it is a sign that he is getting better. We have doctored him so much getting him in the chute is not an option anymore. The last vet said it will bust on its own. And should heal up ok. He said the leg might always be kinda stiff, but he should be able to bred cows fine. Thanks for all the help [/QUOTE]
