[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 245575, member: 1509"] Hi All, I have a 5 month old Angus bull calf that has a dry, scaly patch between his front legs, it runs lengthwise along the underside about 5" long by 2-3" wide. Can't quite tell if it has been there a while & is an old scab or what. When I pick at it it seems to be sore rather than itchy & what comes off in my hand almost looks like dried up serum- like it has been oozing. There is some hair comming through the dry patch, but I can't tell if is sloughing off & healing or just beginning. He's a rather large boy for his age & it seems to be right where the ground or his front hooves would rub when he's lying down. I have anr obese cow that has a small "wear" spot in the same place- (I would expect that on her!) I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this? My instinct tells me to scrub the heck out of it when he's in tonight so I can ge ta good look at it & treat it topically with either blu-kote, furacin spray or an ointment. Any ideas??? [/QUOTE]
