[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1316867, member: 24027"] Have a calf that's almost 3 weeks old, fine last night but this morning I noticed her tongue was sticking out but I could see her teeth (like an under bite), bloody drool and naaasty bloody gums. Amazingly, she is still able to nurse. Vet thinks she was most likely kicked & fortunately her jaw isn't broken but he couldn't even stitch the gums back together because they separated at the base of her teeth - there's nothing for him to stitch. Cleaned with Chlorhexidine solution, gave her Excenel and Banamine, sent us home. We're supposed to keep her at the barn for at least a week, drench/clean the wound with the Chlorhexidine every day plus 1.5 cc Banamine. Is something that traumatic really so easy to heal? Just looking for similar experiences &/or additional advise. [/QUOTE]
