[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1746259, member: 17524"] We have had navel ill in the past. It's awful. We didn't know how to treat it successfully so those calves didn't pull through. The calves get so lame it is sad to see. We were treating them but not every day which was a mistake. We have learned that the bacteria goes to the joint because the circulation is poor there and the bacteria is hard to kill. So you have to be very diligent in treating it. We learned to give 10cc penicillin for 5 days and 5cc for 5 days. 10 day treatment. Maybe today some of the new 'wonder' drugs would be more effective, but we never saved one until a veterinarian told us to treat it like this for 10 days. [/QUOTE]
