[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 575948, member: 6198"] Dun, maybe she had it started for a bit and we did not realize. If one was to look at her jaw she looks like she has alot of fat under there, not swelling from the bacteria. We watch the cows closely for lumpy jaw cause we have had a problem with that on the farm the last few years. So if that was not something we were watching for, maybe she would have gotten worse before we really took notice of her. Hillsdown, the vet says its a bacteria that gets into a wound in the mouth. I did not ask the vet, but because of the treatment i suspect that lack of iodine has played a role in it. Since we have had so much rain they are are going nuts for the salt blocks. We give them free choice salt and mineral 24/7 and we can't keep them stocked with salt. They seem to not want their mineral though. I am going to the co-op on Monday to get some more loose salt to dump in the mineral for them. If they want the salt they are going to have to have some mineral with it! [/QUOTE]
