[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1516553, member: 22295"] Most of my life I ran cattle in arid or semi arid conditions and foot rot was a non issue. But in west central OK it is a problem. Over the last 4 years we have doctored 5-10 a year. I tried LA to start with but it didn’t seem to help some. Used Nuflor and it has always worked. Use Draxxin now as we keep it on hand and if it don’t work then I get some Nuflor and use it. I agree with Bright Raven that many times it is a bruise or cut caused by rocks. The pasture are rough and rocky. I have doctored 4 this year but think only 2 had foot rot. But when I am only there on weekends I take the cautious route. I feel it is better to give one shot just in case my diagnosis was wrong than to wait a week. I brought in a cow one Sunday and didn’t have anything to treat her with. Told the hired ha d to take her to the vet on Monday. The vet was gone but an assistant told him it was an ancestor and did nothing. When I got back on Sat she wouldn’t get up and hadn’t been to water for at least a day and the days were 100 degrees.Hauled water and feed to her. It was a large pen. Gave her a large shot of uflor. Talked to my vet and he said give her another shot the next week. She got ok. But a few more days and she would of been dead. The hired ha d was in the pen everyday but never. noticed anything. I do agree about an abscess. Was a horse shoer for years and treated several. Never gave antibiotics. But foot rot will get worse if not treated. I have seen it. [/QUOTE]
