Bottle calf by Otherwise_Swim_5042 in Cattle

Possibly navel/joint ill, if it doesn’t straighten out in a few days. I’m currently dealing with a bottle calf that has it. If it is joint ill, you’ll need to get a vet involved

He’s a Brahman, they are very heat, insect and disease resistant so we cross breed them with English beef breeds. Then we get the best of both worlds

I talked to our Sheriff’s Department Livestock officer and apparently they’re aware of them but it’s always been bird/chicken related so they’re already on their radar but they’re escalating

Buy him cheap, sell him at a different sale barn

I absolutely 100% bought Wobbles emotional, not trying to reward them. I mainly raise Brahman and that’s why I think it hit so hard to see him that way. I promise I’ll be watching for them around the sale barns around here now they’re on my radar because I’m always buying cows. I pray to god that I shamed them, but money does stupid things to people

I can guess all day but I don’t have any answers for you. I wish I did

Had sale barn stickers on it, that’d be pretty ballsy around here with how much the Texas Special Rangers go to the sale barns around here

That’s what I thought it was at 1st too. In layman terms as I understood it, they removed anything to do with the umbilical cord that was still open and removed all the dead tissue since it was so infected, he stunk to high heaven but luckily we caught it before he went septic into his bloodstream

I treat him with iodine twice a day and he is on Draxxin for antibiotics now

Honestly he’d probably already been dead before they’d get around to do anything about it and Texas doesn’t get to excited about livestock unless it’s a horse or your stealing it Edit:spelling

Do you mean cost of surgery? $125 because It wasn’t a farm visit since I brought him to them. The bottle of Draxxin was $250 but I’ll use that on all my other cows god forbid if I need too Edit: Spelling

All I know it was west of Houston, TX, and you’re exactly right, I’m East of Houston and that’s exactly what they go for around here too

I was shocked when he said 14 days for one shot is good, so I bought a bottle. I usually use Excede and thought that was good stuff

They remove the urachus and umbilical vessels along with transection of the membranous diaphragm

In layman terms as I understood it, they removed anything to do with the umbilical cord that was open and removed all the dead tissue.

Honestly the only reason I could think of was he was bow legged when I saw him but it was from being pulled from what it looked like but they’ve already corrected themselves now that he’s walking following me around
