I recently pulled a rusty nail of one of my bred cows hoof. It is very swollen and oozing. More likely a large abscess.
We had the bet come out and take a look at her. He administered 3ml/100lb of nuflor. We administer the same dose again 5 days later. No change. Still swollen. The vet thinks the infection is in the bone. He's giving her a poor prognosis. Wants us to administer the nuflor every couple of days until she calves.
I don't want to lose the cow. Is there any topical numbing agents out there? I tried to open up the abscess but she kept pulling here foot away. It was tied to the chute. I'm looking for any advice.
