Bought 100 cc from my vet in March ,cost about $15. I keep it on hands all the time.Never had any trouble getting it VERY versatile drug,may have problems in future but I still can get it from my vet.

Don’t know much about fixing saws but I have treated a lot of cattle and sheep. If there’s ever any questions that I might be able to help you with feel free to PM me. I hope the Dex helps with your calf. Best of luck with your new arrival!

Used to be able to walk into a co-op to get meds. Not the case here anymore.

I found that stuff you mentioned @deedskelly
Online. Looked like you could order and have shipped in. This was an injectable. I’m assuming it would be the same you’re referring to?

 

[deedskelly]

About have to go to the vet to get anything good anymore.Its sad that you can’t get much of anything at our co op anymore

 

[deedskelly]

Yes Jake,it’s a injectable,I usually give it IM not sub q

ajschainsaws, The 7810 is still on the wrong side of the road, lol!!

Yeah keep doing it and that is a big road around here

 

[ajschainsaws]

Doubt you can even buy that stuff anymore. Vet supplies are limited now days.

Yeah we can only have it through the vet use it for bad mastitis , and retained afterbirth , and if you got bad laminitis in a horse it gives it that boost of adrenaline to make them happier

Dehorned 7 holstein steers (about 600 pounders) yesterday, and brought 5 home with me to put on pasture for the summer. I'll try to get pics tonight.

Looks like it might be ok.

Tell me about your method. I've got a Jersey that I'm considering dehorning.

Quarter inch pitch should do it. Nice new chain... ;-)

My brother in law uses a saw wire. Says it sorta cauterizes as it cuts if you saw fast enough.

I’ve used a paste. I de horn anything that comes my way with a horn. Damn a horned cow/steer. I got whacked pretty good once.

I also have one, if anyone wants it. Plus the little one with the steel handles. The big one has wood handles, and the little one has steel handles.

I’ve seen people use a hacksaw with the blade on upside down too.
