Vac...for warts and bloat fizz in a bottle....

[Mahoney Farms]

what brand/name do you use to vac your cattle for warts? When and at what age do you vac for the warts?

I heard an old farmer talking about a solution from the vet that you mix with water in a small soda bottle, shake it up and pour it down the throat of cattle when they have bloat...do you know what the "solution" name might be? Thanks appreciate the info. jmd :cboy:

I've used therabloat before. Might or might not be what you're thinking of.
