[QUOTE="fourstates, post: 410845, member: 5918"] Is it draining, is that what you mean by bloody looking, or geting worse? It may have abcessed and ruptured. If the infection is in the joint and is draining that may be a good thing. If you let a scab form by letting it dry, it may not drain. Infections in the joint take a while to clear up. Some dressings are designed to draw the drainage from the wound and are left on for several days. You might try warm water with epsom salts as daily soak, it you do not wish to put the dressing on. With a bull, it may be difficult to get him to soak his foot daily for ten or fifteen minutes. Keep the area clean and don't let up on the antibiotics. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
