[QUOTE="ladycrofter, post: 8267694, member: 616"] Never seen any injection site that bad. Not even cool ivomec which is quite thick. First impression is crap like wool fibre shoved in the site. Can you flush out with a syringe of saline? You're better running them thru golden hoof fairly regularly for a season. Its not toxic, basically zinc, stops the bacteria (scald, scat)that damages and opens up the interdigital skin to the footrot bug. The vaccine just . . . helps . . . Makes them immune-ish. But keep in mind you'll never get 100% kill. Resistant bugs will always survive and/or mutate, and you will always have foot rot on your farm through vaccinating. Vaccines don't kill. It's not a particularly hardy bug and will die out over time on pasture if you make their feet unattractive thru regular bathing. Ditto orf. I never had it until I stupidly bought 4 vacc'd hoggs. Then it went thru the flock like a dose of salts until they built up immunity. Lambs after that got it a wee bitty but not bad. [/QUOTE]
