[QUOTE="skruzich, post: 1353300, member: 25726"] Thank you folks for your information. She is the second jersey milk cow for me, in my goal of having 3 milk cows to milk. Most of what i know was learned by watching my grandpa 45 years ago, and its slow going. So far i have done pretty good up until this point. Vet said that it was inevitable for it to happen as his belief is that a cows only existance is for is to find a unique way to end up dead. I don't have much in the line of timber in my pasture, but my barn got nailed by a high windstorm and i'm working to clean it up. It could be she got into a piece of tin i don't see yet. The wind scattered it all over the place. To complicate matters in cleaning up and working on her, i have a 1200lb jersey bull in the pasture that snorts and shows his ass from time to time. I know dangerous to have but required for me to have if i want calves. Going to put up some panels today on the leanto barn to put her in and work on her in there so i can keep him and the other cows out and i can use the 6x6 poles to hold her in place. I got a fingernail soft brush to use to try and clean the wound before dressing it and wrapping it. Is this too much to expect for me to be able to do? I figure the brush even as soft as it is will remove eggs and debris from the wound then i can irrigate it with water and some hydro peroxide to kill the bacteria before triple antibiotic ointmnet and a wrap. I have someone thats going to help me we are going to halter her to the post and then tie a rope to the leg so she doesn't kill me with a kick and he'll be holding that leg taut so i can work on it. I've done bullet wounds for horses (yeah someone shot my friends horse) and i didn't get killed over it. LOL. I just really hate stressing my animals out. But this has to be done. [/QUOTE]
