hello
New to this form.. I read the post about tylan injected into the knee,we have a holstein heifer that was give to us, from a nearby farmer in ontario, Canada.
When she came she was very sensitive all over her body,but was fairly new to being born.. well to cut to the chase..she developed a very high fever,and her neck ( inside of hours) curled back to her back, forhead touching her spine,Dexathorsome by vet was given as well as tylan injections daily..she ate fine as we had to physically uncurl her to get her in ok position to feed her, but she drand great..could not stand but we stood her up and held her stretched her legs etc 5-10 times a day , and 5 days later she started standing, got pnemonia.. all has recovered, but her knee's strated to swell,assumed joint ill, and vet started her on meds right away.he has had her on tetracyclineLA,tylan,pennicillin LA, no change. she is eating great,putting on weight great, but her knee's are very swollen,they have not broken yet and are so swollen that she is having a hard time standing without her knee's bending forward.Called vet and he was gone for weekend, so decided to try tylan into joint..wow did it burn and cause her pain,at the time of injection,was very careful to be sterile, before injection and after, new needle etc.. today it seems to be better.. a little .. but I was wondering how long and how often the knee injection will have to be done or is it a one shot deal..She is one of a tripplet birth and she is a dear and we would like to keep her.. any idea's from the person that gave the shot of tylan already in the post.
