[QUOTE="rockroadseminole, post: 1345819, member: 24842"] Have not taken him to vet. Probably a mistake on my part, but didn't see where it would help at the time and probably too late now. Day of I spoke with two vets on phone and had one "wise old man" look at him, and all said that no matter what diagnosis (after ruling out footrot) that the treatment was the same... wait and see, or take him to Auburn for surgery (AU not being an option $$$). We gave the recommended anti-inflammatory and even some antibiotic for good measure the day after we found him. Continuing with the wait and see for now... both vets acted like they didn't want to charge me for guesses or were too old to fool with him. Never a good sign when the vet says "wweellllll, I could come look at him, buttttt". Lucky P you are 100% correct on the advance of the foot statement. As of yesterday we should be good to go for slaughter (from a medicine standpoint). How long would you wait for improvement? It has been 32 days with no real improvement, but not any worse either. He's not in the way and isn't dropping excessive weight, yet. [/QUOTE]
