And not like that.
Working calves, we hauled a cow with foot rot into the vet with us.
Never underestimate the ability of a tweaked out cow to adapt to a freshly fixed, rubber-treaded foot.
And concrete.
Took her all of about 30 feet. I missed a step going up a panel when she spotted me trying to close a gate behind her. Got away with a sprained left ankle, and my foot and shin swelled up, and a day or two off work.
Should have eliminated her one way or another this spring when she destroyed a gate.

Why take her to the vet for simple foot rot??
A shot of LA liquamycin would cure that

I always use L-300 in a single dose. Dosage based upon body weight per the bottle. In the past I used LA-200, but the LA-300 is more concentrated and takes a bit less. IT has knocked out foot rot about 8 of 8 times I have used it. No vet bill or hauling. Tom

Half her one toe was gone.
With all the rain we've got the terraces and flood control dams are holding water. Lots of foot rot around here this summer.
The calves were already going for branding so she just caught a ride.
They trimmed it up and cemented a rubber piece in place where the toe rotted away.
If the boss would pick up a few tools I could do any other foot work in our squeeze chute.
