If you've not started calving yet, get some Dr larsons paste. A pair of gloves and a set of andis clippers and do them at a day old. Done all my bulls to spin the lignocane out and it's worked a treat. Just shut them away from the cow for at least half an hour.

Wouldn’t Adrenacaine do the same job?

Agreed, although I just stick some duct tape on top and don’t even bother with the half hour.
That's the one, used the old name by mistake

Just wondering what vets will do for caeserians , have they got other options ???
Apparently it's on red tractors radar to bad dehorning paste due to it being caustic and painful to the calf.

Glad I’m not RT, but is it really any worse than a red hot iron whilst constrained in a crush and doped to the eyeballs?
Well ours had been in buying from wynnstay before i got mine as they couldnt get hold of any either.

I bought a couple of bottles last week, long sell by date, and no shortage where I went.
But assistant told me that the local vets had run out, and called in to buy. They were not allowed to sell to vets! That was a new one on me.
I wasn’t bulk buying. Will need new supplies next month. Honest.

Just had a bottle from our local farmers co-op, seemed to have plenty in stock and they'd not heard of a shortage

Possibly an issue at Norbrook, Life Aid Xtra is very hard to get hold of as well.

Norbrook have stopped making a lot of low value stuff so they can use the lines to make more expensive stuff, life aid is gone, combivet, and now levicide injection, will definitely miss it, cheap as chips and great for young stock for lung worm. Adrenacaine surely would be one you would think they would keep.

That explains why I haven't been able to find LifeAid anywhere!

We couldn't get Willcain from our supplier, so had to have Adrenacaine instead.
