[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1371520, member: 24027"] How old is he & when do you plan to wean him? Did you try Dex or Banamine to reduce the swelling? I had a 5 week old calf that evidently got kicked so bad it split her gums & her lower teeth were protruding out of her mouth. There wasn't even enough tissue for the vet to stitch her back together so he cleaned her up, gave her a hefty dose of penicillin & banamine & sent us home, I continued with the flushing & banamine for a few more days. Amazingly she could still nurse & kind of graze. We just weaned her last weekend & you have to really look to still see some swelling (or scarring on her gums) and she's as big as the other heifers. Hope your guy turns out okay but agree, he's probably going to end up in your freezer. [/QUOTE]
