[QUOTE="eric, post: 20547, member: 7"] I have a 3 month old calf and I think she has ringworm(s). There are 2 small patches on her back, right on top, kinda greyish in color and they look like they are scabbing over. I read in the diseases section of this forum that ringworms aren't that big of a deal and would probably cure itself, so is that true? Or should I be concerned at this point? The other calf doesn't appear to have it, and the mama's don't either. What (if anything) should I treat it with? Another question, since I had planned on worming all of them in a month or so anyway, can someone give me some directions on how the pour on wormers are applied, other than the obvious, they are poured on. Is the product mixed with anything out of the container, or is it used full strength? What do you pour it on with? Is there a special applicator that I will need, or does the bottle come with one? Do you pour it all over the body, just in certain places, or what is the preferred application. How much would I need to pour on 4 cows and 2 calves? Does this stuff keep for 6 months after being opened up, or should I only buy what I plan on using at this time, and not try to store it. I plan on buying a working chute and some portable panels to do this with, since I can't see any other way to pen them up. Has anyone ever bought one of the chutes from Tractor Supply? Will it hold up O K ? Wow, didnt mean to take up so much forum space, but these are questions I have been pondering, and since not many other folks will admit to being a beginner, I figured I might as well ask them!
