[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1196703, member: 17767"] I banded a calf yesterday. Born 10/19/14. So about 6 weeks old. I use the tri-bander with the surgical tube bands. This is the biggest calf I have banded. I band usually in the first week or two. The scrotum and testicles would not go through the opening. I put a halter on the calf, tied his head up tight, and tied his back legs together so he would not kick me in the face. I pulled the scrotum through, them worked each testicle down through the opening. I noticed the band did not close much. He had his first tetanus toxoid shot 11/26/14. I gave a tetanus antitoxin shot at the time of banding. My concern is two fold: 1. Since he has not had the follow-up dose of toxoid, is he at risk of a tetanus reaction before time to give the second toxoid? 2. What is the outcome likely with the band appearing to not provide enough constriction? Or is it likely to provide the constriction at times when his scrotum is not likely to be as drawn up? [/QUOTE]
