Front right. Navel ok. Maybe a puncture. He's not limping, I have some injectable penicillin. Treatment?
Yes it can, but if he hasn't been vaccinated yet, you need tetanus antitoxin to give immediate (but short-term) protection. Also pick up a dose of tetanus toxiod and give him that two weeks later for lasting protection (actually two doses of the toxoid, about 2 or 3 weeks apart, are needed because he's young).Thank you! I'm new to cattle, being a shepherd primarily. This a.m. Knee is much smaller there appears to be a puncture. He is hungry and frisky no limping. Can tetanus vaccine be purchased over the counter?
