[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1732938, member: 39347"] For those who cut AFTER banding, I assume it’s to speed up the healing and avoid the slough period. For the vets-is this a higher tetanus risk after cutting dead tissue off? There is now an opening to a theoretically anaerobic area, or does it become more of a suture line, allowing faster closure with less necrotic tissue to deal with? I have “diligent” cows that are very aggressive with calf cleaning. I can’t imagine what would happen with a necrotic scrotum on a month old calf🙄. We’ve had the vet knife-cut at 4 months old previously, wanted to try to take over the duties at home, but not confident enough to use a knife without worrying about bleed-out (even after watching it many times). Practice suggestions-lol? [/QUOTE]
