I've recently read that in some cases a tetanus shot should be given with this method, depending on where you live and what time of year you do the banding, do you recommend this? Thanks for your help.<p>: I have nothing against elastrators, the only caution I would give is be absolutely sure you have both testicles in the scrotum when you snap on that elastic. If not, you've just either created a headache for your vet to castrate that remaining testicle later (been there, didn't have fun but got it done) or you've sent a "steer" off which will have bull taint at finish. The other problem I've seen is where the guy cut the band off after he put it on, can't remember why, but I had to amputate this stinking green mess which was leaking serum....because the blood flow was back into devitalized tissue....again, not fun! If you're careful, a great way of getting the job done, IMHO!<br>: Good Luck<br>: V<p>
