Copper is a waste of time in my opinion
Try strong formalin for 3 days then back onto 3%
Copper then two with formalin,virtually no dermi but one with it in the udder cleft,I find you should always spray with alamycin before you milk them while the udder is tight,had a 2nd calver bad with and it’s totally cured now.

They go through the foot bath one a day 6 days a week (Sunday’s off). Surely that enough?

I’m on the verge of culling them but two of them are cracking cows so I don’t want to.

Reassuring to know you’ve totally cured a case of this before. Thanks.

Perservere with them it does heal up. I’ve had them so bad with a hole through that you could put your fist in, and still managed to heal up.

We had one recently, I used some copper sulphate skin spray, can't remember what its called but will have a look in the morning, seemed to clear it up pretty quick, hope it wasn't just luck

I had a terrible one in the winter, the hole was big enough to put your hand inside , I washed it out with a hose every milking and blue sprayed it and it did heal eventually.

Which sexed product have you been using? As in Cogent 4m / Genus sexcel /V X Vik?
I have been using some sexed Beaumont with a very promising NRR so far.
Vet was recommending SCP spray for this recently
