Lot of difference in an expert and expeirenced.
Not me! I've just got diverse experience. Know a little about a lot.
And I do have one that has me stumped got a six year old cow gets the symtoms of ergot or foot rot in the left rear foot.
Hit her with La200 clears up about 2 to 3 weeks and its back.
Keep iodine out 365 no other cows with foot rot or any signs of foot problem. Have squeezed her and checked that foot out a half dozen times she knows how to operate the chute by herself. I am fixing to hit her with nuflour and if that doesn't clear it up she is off to Hormel.
Abcess in the hoof. There have been a lot of good cows culled because they stepped on a little something, got a minute infection in the hoof, it grew over the abcess, and the owner didn't take time to have the hoof examined and/or treated properly.
Or it could be Hairy Heel Warts.
This is where you might save $50 only to lose $1000.
Lack of management and a total waste of good antibiotics. Don't quit your day job. :lol:
