[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10297"] My mini Holstein calf who had the infected umbilicas was operated on last Fri. On Tues night we could see some ooze. The vet gave us directions to get betadine in it with a cotton tip swab. We saw the vet yesterday. He took out 3 stitches and cleaned it out. We are supposed to flush it with 25% betadine solution. We tried covering it, but she tries ripping the gauze pad off and eating it. Any previous experience with this type of situation? I really want this infection cleared up so if someone has had great luck with flushing it out with other things, let me know. She is on penecillan (IM). What about keeping the open part cleaner (especially when she is laying on clean, dry, straw (her bedding). I'm flushing it 3-4 times a day....should it be more? Thanks, She's a cuties and a real joy to have, so I really want this to go well. [email=prayzhm@safeaccess.com]prayzhm@safeaccess.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
