[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 564856, member: 852"] So it's not over a joint then? I can't find a decent diagram on the internet so I concocted a quick one... what part of this calf are we talking about? [img]http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n465/IdahoLabs/cowparts.jpg[/img] something labeled by an arrow? by a word? something in between? "1" is just below her hip bone, "2" is at the stifle, "3" is between stifle and hock, the muscle I'd call the gaskin on a horse -- don't know what it is on a cow -- and "4" is the hock. You may never know what created it, but as long as it's not over a joint and the calf isn't lame, I'd say just make sure it's cleaned out and the calf is on plenty of antibiotics, and she'll probably be fine. The pennicillin you're using will have to be repeated daily, IMO I'd treat for at least 7 days regardless of how quickly she heals up. 10 days would be better. [/QUOTE]
