[QUOTE="BrazosBottomHand, post: 1689459, member: 26764"] Pretty much all injection site abscesses are due to a dirty or damaged needle . They aren’t going to make them sick or limp, it just looks bad and they may not get the medicine you gave them because it is encapsulated in the abscess . You need to start with a new and clean needle and change it every 5-10 head and any time you drop it, knick it, bend it, or touch it on anything besides a clean cow hide. Don’t let the needle touch the table when you set it down or touch the chute if it’s hanging. Also make sure ur not giving more than one shot in the same spot. Shots need to be 4-6 inches apart. That should fix it but if u still have problems you can give a cheap antibiotic like LA300 with your vaccines. [/QUOTE]
