[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 846242, member: 968"] As stated, I am not familiar with this problem. But ---- I have a hard time with putting cotton IN THE HOLE. Does the hole heal OVER the cotton??? That doesn't sound healthy. Don't know why, but putting tar or Icthamol in/on the hole sounds OK. Or covering the hole with gauze & gooping on tar/icthamol to hold in place - of course, we all know that would last until you turned them out of the chute. Eeeeuuuu - sounds awful to me. Foreign objects in the cavety of the head just doesn't sound right. And, no matter what you put on or in, they are going to rub it & the hole will be accessable to blow flies. I can just picture maggots rolling out of the hole :shock: I think I like the idea of waiting for winter. Better yet, I think I like dehorning genetically. Not going to help your situation, but I sure would do whatever is necessary to keep flies away from her. The ONLY experience I've had like this - a bull was delivered to the bull test with horns. Horns were not allowed, so he paid the vet to dehorn him. It rained and he got a sinus infection that was unable to be cured. So much for that prize bull :shock: [/QUOTE]
