[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 703124, member: 8192"] I've seen plenty of infected navels but this one is a tough one. The big fat shiny bull calf is four weeks old. He was a very hard pull out of a little heifer who was "shocked" for a day or two and didn't take him. He had his navel iodined immediately at birth and received colostrum from the bailed-up heifer but after about four hours when it was obvious she had no interest in him. I was disappointed to find his navel cord swollen (about an inch across) and hard a few days later. He had the full course of what I have, oxytet, triprim, dex etc. The cord has never gone down and the bright pink end now protrudes and still has some of the black shrivelled exposed cord attached. Pus drips constantly from the opening around the cord, lots of it. There's no massive swelling, the dripping pus is the only sign. We tipped him over and gave it another good soaking in iodine and gave him another oxytet. Took a photo but can't get it uploaded yet. The calf is very well, full of bad manners, guzzling milk replacer, bucking and kicking. What should I do next? [/QUOTE]
