[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1309075, member: 1682"] Had same issue all last winter. Never had an animal I pumped so much antibiotics into. She was also bred and while nothing special, did a top notch job on her first calf - so I wanted to keep her. Had torn her dewclaw badly in late fall, healed up and 2 months later swelled up to size of a football, continually discharging pus. Very likely was in the bone and a short step from gangrene. The only product that worked was Resflor Gold through the vet. 3 full 100 mL bottles into her at separate times. Had I known it would work so well, 2 bottles consecutively would have done it, so a full 28 day treatment. I kept hoping that LA 300 would work, but even at double the dose, there was no response. Tried a few rounds of penicillin and that was a joke as well. I'm sure in the end, I put $600 worth of antibiotics through her. Thought for sure she would calve out some kind of retarded abomination from all the drugs, but she had a very nice heifer calf that I have kept. [/QUOTE]
