My buckling (now wether) was banded 7/13 and because his testicles were so big, my bander wouldn't fit and the vet had to bring out his large cattle bander, the kind that ratchets the band down. Things started out ok, but the past few days he's seemed very uncomfortable. I've been checking the wound every day, and spraying it with wound spray. Yesterday I got home and found his dried scrotum hanging by a dried spermatic cord coming from his body. :/ I had to hold the cord and pull the scrotum off. I flipped him over and saw there is a hole that never healed together. He's in pain and though I thought it would be infected there was no pus or discharge when I squeezed (squoze ) the area. I started him on penicillin. I've never seen a banding end up like this before. Never. :/
Should I try to flush it? I'm going to snip the spermatic cord off so it's not hanging out. Anyone dealt with this before? And I'm going to repeat it again, I will NEVER never never wait past 8 weeks to band ever again. What a headache!
