[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 545347, member: 852"] spinandslide -- no worries, I'll definitely keep y'all updated. I try to share stories of my "projects" when I can and hopefully they sometimes help other people out. Jovid -- I PM'd you. hillsdown -- she's actually on a nurse cow; I tend to think she's doing better than a bottle calf because of that. In fact she gets way more milk than a bottle-fed calf and has gotten really big. When I took her to the clinic last week I put her in the back of the truck and drove over there... not sure I could lift her up this week. LOL. Things looked better this morning; all that filled the needle was a sort of bloody serum. Much better than 'pus'. Cleaning it out yesterday might have been what it needed. I think there's a lot of scar tissue in there and hopeful there's no bacteria hiding where the antibiotics can't get 'em. I've been putting a mixture of DMSO on the joint to increase circulation to the area which should help... When I called my vet yesterday I asked him what else I needed to know about joint infections (that he hadn't told me yet -- but I didn't say that part, LOL) and I'm pretty hopeful that I've been told everything now that I need to know to effectively doctor this calf. :P [/QUOTE]
