[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 396083, member: 539"] I personally wouldn't use any antibiotics unless I knew what I was treating for. The bull could have gotten in a scuffle, he could have stepped in a hole, he could have done a lot of things to injure his foot/leg that would cause limping/swelling. Have you scrubbed the foot and looked for wounds? Have you checked between his toes for an injury? Is there a nasty smell that would indicate some type of infection? Have you tried treating him with plain old iodine, or maybe a bleach solution? If it is foot rot, simply scrubbing his foot, washing it with peroxide and then applying iodine just might do the trick at this stage. [/QUOTE]
