[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 562018, member: 852"] Absolutely. 10-14 days of heavy doses of antibiotics to prevent infection. My vet likes penicillin at 5cc/100lbs. I've used that and liked it. LA200 at 5cc/100lbs every other day for 10 days worked well for the heifer I stitched up. I suppose you could use other antibiotics too as long as it's a broad spectrum antibiotic. I tried Excede once on a hernia repair (since the antibiotic is supposed to last about 10 days) and ended up with an infection. Penicillin cleared it right up, but I learned my lesson. I'm sticking with penn or oxytet in the future. My vet also has me put any post-surgery cow on Banamine for 5 days. [/QUOTE]
