[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 598112, member: 8629"] 7% iodine isn't generally available anymore. It is now under DEA regulation because they use the crystals to make meth. The 7% worked well but I used to see some bad burns if it contacted the skin too much. The difference with the other iodines is strength. Don't use "tamed" iodines (likein skin scrubs) because it no longer dries the navel. The only researched alternative I have found is 0.5% chlorhexidine solution; they tested it on foals and found it to be just as effective as the 7% iodine without risking the burns. A good article that explains this in more detail: [url=http://www.cattlenetwork.com/content.asp?contentid=188687]http://www.cattlenetwork.com/content.as ... tid=188687[/url] "Living Without 7% Iodine" Source: William Shulaw, DVM, Extension Veterinarian, The Ohio State University [/QUOTE]
