[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 33522"] I sympathise with you! I usually have anywhere up to 15 steers and heifers at my schools show team facility (equivalent to your 4-H club) and I know from years of painful experience that it only takes one animal with a spot the size of a 5 cent piece to infect the entire shed. My advice is to use a human anti-fungal cream. It may be embarressing but if you can buy a vaginal cream from the chemist these are usually the best. Make sure you apply it daily, and when you do, use enough so that is completely covers the spots and don't rub it in all the way. To be effective it needs to smother the patch. In the meantime, be really carefull with your six calves and make sure that you dont use the same halter, brushes etc. on infected and not infected animals. Before I break my calves I always disinfect halters and other equipment. Also, I have heard that fluoride toothpaste will work. Hope this helps :D :D [/QUOTE]
