[QUOTE="3rdgeneration farmer, post: 463909, member: 6998"] i had a lumpy jaw cow and this was the apperance. Not trying to scare you but at least ask a vet if the Iodine treatment that you do for lumpy jaw could be done and not harm the cow if it turns out to not be lumpy jaw. This is a serious problem if it is indeed lumpy jaw. Let me know how old the cow is. If she is 2 years old, look out. 2 year olds are prime candidates because they are cutting a molar at that time. My cow is now dead, mainly because my ex vet argued with me that it was not lumpy jaw and she was treated by another vet and she was too advanced. She did however produce one more calf. Still this is very important to treat early and doesnt hurt to retreat as advised by the vet. I learned a hard lesson, she raised the heaviest calf ever on my farm by a heifer and I only got one more out of her. What might have been? Dont know, but you take care of yours and let me know how it goes. By the way look at the pics of the advanced lumpy jaw, its horrendous, but mine started with the appearance of yours. [/QUOTE]
