DD Udder

[epfarms]

Got a cow with DD on her udder, any recommendations how to help clear it up? Not really something we’ve had here before.

Dab on some neat Fam30 with a paper towel daily, stings them like hell but it’ll be clear within a week.

Copious amount of a green antiseptic spray called rapiderma

This, regularly

Dry it off with paper towel. Then repiderma for a few days/week. But you might find it keeps coming back.

Intracare ripiderma. No too aggressive and no risk of milk contamination.

 

[epfarms]

Thanks guys, will give Ripiderma a go!

we had a sick cow, vet examined her, couldn't find anything much wrong with her, except she was really sick, and coughing up large amounts of clear liquid, decision made to send her on, she was going back quickly, obviously in distress, so we euthanised her.
The cause was pretty clear then, right up where the udder attaches to the cows stomach, there was a small hole, through which you could see it's guts. DD had eaten right through the hide, and into the cow.
And where that hole was, right up in the udder cleft, you could not see it, without lying down, under the cow, to look up. Something none of us do. Another lesson learnt.

I can always smell it before I see it. Quill is best place to get it online. Just got me 72 tins.

Yes the Quill green gloom is great for foot digi.

For udder cleft; you can use hibiscrub and warm water for 3 days in a row if she is a calm cow, then rapiderma after.

Farm i used to work on had a cow's die of this. They had robot's put in a year before and got lazy. Stockman ship was shocking.
I used to tell them about it as you can smell it. They ignored me.

I left.

Unmistakable smell- I can instantly detect it as well. Grain that is even slightly dodgy I am also hypersensitive to and can detect easily. I am a bit odd in many ways but I do actually quite like the coppery smell of blood, also.

we presumed it was on the hoof, didn't look bad, but never even thought about getting it right up under the cows gut, you would have had a very difficult time, to spot it.
but sure as heck we will check for similar again!

Repiderma spray or Salicylic acid but you need to do it for weeks or months not days. Footbath the cows regularly too as it has originally come from the feet.

I use repiderma spray on DD in the cleft but I’ve also had great results by spraying iodine on, it dries it out nicely.

 

[Dead Rabbits]

For some effective but very off label treatments lincomycin and tetracycline powders work well and quickly

 

[ollie989898]

Agreed, if one cow has it on the cleft then it's likely circulating in the feet and it is as fudging infectious as a very fudgey thing. Formalin 3 times a week. I have a funny feeling it can also take up residence in the nose/sinuses or is that a different organism?
