Has anyone had experience with "Navel Klamps"? I have more infections than one should in calves. I keep fresh clean bedding available best I can. and soak navel area with iodine asap. Which is usally no more than 6-8 hours at the longest. I was considering this season, to use a klamp on navel a few inches from body and cut cord a few inches further from klamp and soak area extremely well, inside and out. Does anyone have experience using this device? Will they clamp tight enough to prevent bacteria from entering? should I leave cord long ? my thought was if cut fresh I could get the iodine in ahead of bacteria. Any other practices anyone does or ideas? What about injecting penecillin in navel area if one is probally already infected? Thanks to all and a Happy-Healthy-Prosperous 2008!
