[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1631007, member: 24027"] Along those lines, had a bull with a limp but I couldn't find anything so hauled him to the vet. Vet was initially concerned he had a stifle injury but felt kind of a raised area above the hock. Shaved his leg and discovered a scar from some kind of cut or puncture. Made an incision and the pus was epic plus he had a slight temp (103.5). Made another incision, thoroughly flushed and threaded a latex tube through the holes so it would continue to drain. 25cc Exenel, 80cc penicillin and I was supposed to flush & give another 80cc every other day. Looked like it healed beautifully so we let him back in the pasture but 3 weeks later developed a secondary infection. Back to the vet, back to the barn, back to flushing/penicillin. Lucky for me he was super docile! Finally healed and he was good to go. [/QUOTE]
