[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 707054, member: 8192"] The calf is now doing well, I'm delighted to say! He had more day of being in pain, grunting, grinding his teeth, ignoring his milk etc. Had he been kicking or lying on his side, I would have shot him. Now he's back to normal, pushing and shoving, galloping about in the cool of the evening. The pus has gone at last. Slowly the widdling out of the navel has decreased down to just a few drips now - it's all coming out of the right place. The protruding end of the cord has shrivelled up. It's still a bit smelly and I think I need to keep the pen and dex up a couple more times. A very small number of times over the years, when we've tipped a bull calf to cut and brand, we've seen this smelly navel/widdle arrangement (my husband reminded me!) In an open range situation, we've just had to cut them and cross our fingers - haven't actually known any of them to have died but can't be sure. I appreciate the help! [/QUOTE]
