I had a mobil vet come out, when I had a sick calf and I could not take to the office myself once. This vet recommends me having excede on hand for calves. Any of you used this drug before?

Thanks

Yes I have works good but I usually choose to use draxxin. Excede you have to give in the ear area. A lot of times if I have a calf that needs treated it is a lot easier on the calf and me to just give him a shot of draxxin by shooting the calf with a dart.
