[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1313755, member: 9096"] I had a cow last year that cut her foot between the toes... infected and swelled up a bit. I cut about 6" strips of rag and put 50% tetracycline powder on it (this stuff was for medicating a water supply), wetted it to a paste, and then wrapped it up (I did clean as best I could first, but that was kinda hard)... I put a new rag on any time she managed to rip that one off, and in a couple weeks she was fine again... you may want to consider something like that on top of injected treatments... I did all this in the field, if I had brought her to a pen and been able to soak her foot in hydrogen peroxide that would have been better, but it worked anyhow. [/QUOTE]
