[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 511697, member: 6198"] Navel ill...we use nuflor and and anti inflamatory like anafin. We hit hard and fast Drop the calf on it's side (get your self and the calf safe from the momma) and pick at the scab on the navel and try and squeeze out any pus. clean the area again with iodine. Be sure to use clean gloves and check daily to clean out the puss and to make sure it can drain. This works best with two people so you might want to give him the shots now and wait for hubby to get home to tackle the cleaning with you... Make sure your colostrum has 100g of Immuglobluins. 100 grams if the calf will recieve no colostrum from the momma, and there is second package for 60 grams. this is for calves to supplement on the side of the momma. cheap colostrum might not have all it needs as well you will have to give more than one dose. The 100g Immugloblins is a one dose deal. Makes into 4cups of liquid. Drench or tube can be a chore. If you can find a neighbor to help right now that would be good. Here is a trick. Get small ended dench bag. Fill and secure the bag. Not the one with the big ball on the end. Drop the calf, sit on top of it. Hold it's head up and slide the tube in gentley. If you can have your hand or fingers on the neck. You should be able to feel it go inside. if not it is in the lung. re do if in the lung. Open the drain slowly to see if the calf coughs or sputters...not good stop and re do....GO SLOW AND TAKE YOUR TIME! If it is a hernia you should be able to find a hole. It won't be on the outside of the skin but rather under the skin. If there is a hole (by feeling around) should be able to push it back in. If the hole is bigger than your finger, might need vet surgery. Check the cow for a twin...check the calf for teeth. No teeth atleast 3 weeks premie. If there is teeth then it's within the three weeks. Good luck. RR [/QUOTE]
