Disbudded Doeling with bloody horn

[Melanie Moyers]

Ive been hanging outside with both of our kids (Hercules and Bah Felicia) all morning and I just noticed one of her horns is bleeding. It looks like what was left of the horn popped off. I'm sharing a picture and asking advice on what to clean it with and if it needs to be seen by the vet. All advice would help!!! Thanks!!!

When was she disbudded?

The scabs pop off a few weeks after disbudding. Sometimes I spray Fight Bac teat spray on it, but most of the time I just let it take its course.

I'm not sure. I just picked her up last weekend. She is 7 weeks old. I just emailed the breeder I got her from. Will see what she says. She doesn't seem bothered or in pain.

Totally agree with GW. Looks like the scab just popped off - or was helped by some rambunctious head-butting. If it makes you feel better to spray something on it then that's what I'd do...but probably not necessary.

This is the normal time for scabs to pop off. Just watch and make sure it looks okay.

I have scabs popping off a bunch of kids right now

Totally normal, just scab popping off. Agree with the above, if it's bleeding I spray with WoundKote.
