[QUOTE="Koffi Babone, post: 1238765, member: 22429"] Dipping the navel in 5% tincture of iodine (the stuff that stains, not the surgical soap) as often as possible (at least twice a day, preferrably more) will make a big difference in preventing scours. 5% Tincture of iodine is a disinfectant and will accelerate the navel drying time. The purpose is to make that entry route as unpleasant as possible for bacteria. This product is very cheap and can save headaches. Some places sell a concentrated version, you should dilute it down with clean water to make a 5% solution (make sure it says Tincture though). [/QUOTE]
