[QUOTE="samm, post: 91951, member: 141"] we had a calf several years ago that had soars on her flank and down her right hind leg, and where her arm pits would be if she had any...couldnt figure it out we just found her in my dads pasture like that not hardly getting around, her momther would just leave her behind. so we got her up and took her to the vet..actually took her to two different vets, they werent for sure what it was...we we made up all different concoctions to put on her. of course it didnt hepl that she licked them till they would bleed, one she had licked down to the grissel on her hind leg. we doctored her everyday. we finally had good luck with washing the soars with betadine, and washing them off with the spray nozzel and water hose, letting them dry a bit, and mixing neosporine with cortizone cream and putting it on her......finally...she quit licking, and after it seemed like forever she healed up, everyone said to get rid of her, she will be stunted, she will never have a calf with as much medicine that she has had....blah blah blah but after all that we had been through with her we didn't want to. and now wanting to be one that said we told ya so...we now have a fine bull calf that will go to the sale barn in the next few weeks....so ya hang in there [/QUOTE]
