[QUOTE="Nettie, post: 268067, member: 4656"] Thanks for the warm welcom Angus Anyways, the calf is sprayed with repellent and the wound is kept lightly wrapped to prevent flys from getting to it. As i stated before he is recieving antibiotic intramuscularly but this does not seem to be reducing the swelling in any way. I wish i could recall the poultice dressing I had used b4. I remember that it contained oatmeal bread and a bit of salt but I know I am missing one key ingredient if not two. The salt draws out infection and the oatmeal absorbed it but the other compound helped increase circulation in the area. I wish i could remember what it was. Went and looked at the calf about an hour ago and it is not doing any better, it cannot stand on that leg. Help with this would be much appreciated because I think this person wont call in a vet because of expense and I would like to see it survive. At most I believe that it may survive another 2 to 3 at the most in its present pain and condition. Am calling for S.O.S help. Nettie [/QUOTE]
