[QUOTE="skip, post: 31225, member: 82"] I had a couple of heifers dehorned in Mid April. The vet used a circular type saw and cut them off flush to the head. He put the ususal meds on the areas. I've had him do a lot of calves over the past 4 years. A week later, I noticed one heifer shaking her head and running around the little pasture. She came up to me for a handful of cubes. I saw maggots crawling in the cavities. I went to the vet and he gave me some spray for flies on wounds. It was CASTON OR CASTRON. Basically it was very watered down pymethrin. I put her in the headgate, washed out the cavities with hydrogen peroxide and sprayed the cavities full of the stuff. killed everything and she was fine the next day. He said I may have to do it again in 5 days but it was unnecessary. She healed up fine. [/QUOTE]
