[QUOTE="skruzich, post: 1353746, member: 25726"] Ok folks, FInally i got some help. I had to build a catchpen. Got her in the catchpen, (No small feat with a 1200lb jersey bull ticked off that i am messing with his girls), But i managed to herd him off and separate hima nd her and get her to run into the pen. I made myself a show stick out of pvc pipe and a t connector to loop a rope halter around her head and nose. took about 10 -15 min of rubbing her with the stick and then looped it right over. Then it was another hour to coax her up to the barn's 6x6 corner post and tie her to it. went around her and pushed her towards the barn sideways and she instinctually went towards the corner there to try and get out and i cinched up her head with only a foot of rope slack. Wound was already scabbed over fairly well, no maggots to be seen. I did peroxide the whole thing to clean any possible eggs and all, smeared the nirtostuff on the wound and gave her a pen-g shot. I don't see any sense in wrapping it as its going to storm tonight and tomorrow and get all kinds of wet and muddy and i don't want wet bandages on her leg as that creates more problems. I finally got her to where she just let me walk up to her when she was set free, I did put a control chain halter on her so i can catch her more easily. as far as this not using the nitrofurazone on food animals as its off label. Hell most of what i do is off label with my animals these days. I don't think its going to hurt a thing since its OK to use Nitrofurazone is also used as a feed additive (0.05%) to control intestinal bacterial and coccidial infections. The withdrawal time for nitrofurazone in pigs is 5 days. Yet they prohibit it for topical use. I think someone up in the FDA is full of male bovine excrement don't you? Soo right now i am just letting it heal i'll check it after the storms stop and it starts drying up and retreat with the nitrofurazone after it drys up. Keep a eye on her and if i see any infection or fly activity i've got 2 more quarts of peroxide as well as wrap and stuff. [/QUOTE]
