Well, it is not all bad. Been down that road myself. Exactly the same thing. Right down to the same side.

Some choices.

1. Match her up by knocking off the other one.

2. Pull off all the hard coating - I used small side cutters - it is simply a finger nail shaped like a horn. Paint the heck out of it with Boroform - some folks call it Bleu (no I did not spell it wrong). It comes in an aerosol can. Trim the hair off it first.

Just had one of our Herfs do this a couple of months ago.

The horn actually has come back - not as nice as it was but it is there.

3. Call a veterinarian if you are scared to grab her and do this. The veterinarian will sort things out.

The bleeding will stop if you spray this on - the problem is flies and infection. The coating of Boroform seemd to prevent all problems.

It has decent sized horns - this animal must weigh in at about 400 - 500 minimum - lots of blood has to go on the ground before they drop - no panic yet.

Go here for a read - then remember to use the search function on these pages - a wealth of info.

Bleu Coat works wonders when dehorning. We always spray a good amount right after dehorning. She would be bleeding alot more if you had done it your self. I think she will be fine, but you may want to have the other one taken off so she's even looking.

When you spray - it's gonna sting so she'll probably buck around - make sure you use your chute.

Good luck
