[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 1151816, member: 5106"] He probably won't get better if he has to still work , he most likely re injures it every time he breeds and puts full weight on that back end . If he is your only bull and he is still breeding your herd , you are limited with what you can do I guess . Try giving him an anti inflam every second day for a week or so if you can , you should see some improvements and are at least relieving the inflammation . I would use predef or banamine when doing a long term type of anti inflam rather than dex . Dex is good but I like it as a one time hit them hard and fast , if no visible improvement then I switch to something that is not so hard on the liver and kidneys that I need to use for a longer term treatment. I wouldn't use something like Anafen as it is more of a pain killer and the last thing you want to do is have him push himself through and injure himself to the point of never recovering .Hopefully he has most of the herd bred already and is just cleaning up the last few and can get a few days rest in between breeding them . Tough situation to be in , I hope it all works out for you. [/QUOTE]
