[QUOTE="preston39, post: 91888, member: 1487"] WV, Have you figured out what caused the injury? A yote/dog attack? A metal protruding on a feeder..or gate? I think I would call a vet on that one...tetanus shot...maybe....infection may set in....I think I would put 'em in the barn to limit his movements somewhat....let mom in to suck for a few days..I would try to get it covered with a big 6"x6" bandage with surgical tape with antibotic ointment. Sometimes they will let it stay on for a while. Needs to be kept moist and clean as possible for healing. Try putting something pungant on the outside of the wrap...maybe a little tar....not enough to soak into the wound....may keep their mouth away and give it a chance to heal. Keep the flies away too!! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
