[QUOTE="raykour, post: 1009186, member: 16801"] Thanks for the info Bez. I know how to treat footrot, however, my concern was for the pregnant animal. Treating her in itself is not an issue as I have appropriate facilities for that. Getting her to them at this point is harder because she is quite lame. I did my own research on a variety of drugs and couldn't find any that were given a green light on the label for use in pregnant animals. With equine medications, this is almost always stated rather obviously. I have had to medicate dozens of weanling steers and heifers but thankfully never a pregnant female for anything besides bloat. Since there was some consensus with these answers that oxytet is OK for the pregnant cow, I went ahead and gave her a dose this morning as well as a foot bath. Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
