[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 630768, member: 6773"] Dexamethasone is a wonder drug, it's function is to relieve inflamation, which it does very well .The problem is that when it wears off,all too often we still have the original problem . As I stated before dexamethasone is a wonder drug, but like most drugs there are side effects that must be weighed against the benefit . When I need immediate relief from symptoms I use dex, knowing that there is a trade off . In my opinion your vet was a bit harsh with you, a detailed explanation of his position would have been better and to say that dex breeds infection is an abstract concept . Finally, one of the primary causes of joint ill is an untreated navel infection . These are difficult to handle in a pasture situation, since the calves are hard to catch and check . The navel infections are so tricky because the original problem is gone by the time they start having joint problems . Larry [/QUOTE]
