[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 635134, member: 6198"] We have has some cows that lost some of the molars when they were raising their first calf. That would put them between 24 and 30 months. I know this cause this is when lumpy jaw would infect most of the cows that had that. And that is when we discovered woody tongue in the heifer. Doc figures the bacteria gets into an open sore, like a tooth falling out, not enough iodine in the herd to combat the problem. If it is woody tongue and i stress if cause there are 100 and one reasons for a cow to loose condition, the vet might have missed it due to the cow already being on antibiotics and steriods for inflamation. Especially if it was really just starting. However if it is woody tongue, anti biotics will not be enough, she will need an iodine IV once maybe 2x. If this is not cleared up and reinfection sets in, it will be harder to clear and might set into the bone, causeing lumpy jaw, if the cow lives long enough for it to set into the bone. [/QUOTE]
