What should I do??? Bloody scur on buck. Pics included.

Milo did something, not sure if it was headbutting or what but knocked his scur half off. It's not really that lose from what I can tell. I'm going to have to tie him to the fence to really look at it. The vet is closed now, and will be closed tomorrow so getting any type of medicine from a vet is a no go.

Pictures are posted below. Also posted photos of blood spots in the pen.
Should I be concerned about how much blood he's lost so far or should he be alright?
Should I try to get that scur all the way off or leave it to fall off on its own?
What should I do? :help2 Thanks in advance!

 

I dont have a disbudding iron. And I don't have anywhere to take him with it being New Year's Eve. Im going to go out and have a better look at the horn. Thankyou for replying Sherrie.

Stuff always happen on New Years Eve....It happened last year to my mare, She jumped a fence and caught her self on a tpost and cattle panel. GRRR. Tore her self up really bad. GAH.

 

The bleeding appears to have stopped on its own. I felt the horn, its still really attached. He is utd on his cd/t shot. Thanks!

 

Kaye, I know it looks like its hanging by skin but it isn't. It's really attach good, hard to explain but I tried to move it a little to see how loose it was and it didn't budge. It was getting dark when I went out to clean it up. I'm going to get a better look tomorrow morning in the light. I wish the vet was open tomorrow but they aren't other wise I'd take him in. If his horn is still like that tomorrow I'll call a friend of mine and see if she's busy and see if I could bring him over or she could come here. If not, then I'll have the vet out on Friday.

We always start the year off with a vet bill. I was silly to think 2009 would be different.

Thanks for the replies!

 

Thanks for replying. I sent an email to my friend, we'll see if she can do it. If not I'll have the vet come out. If he comes out and removes that scur, since its winter Im just going to have him take the other off to that way this wont happen in june when there are lots of flies.

 

I was going to be banding his horns anyways so I'll just have the vet remove them.

So Im sure my friend wont be able to with the holiday and everything so I'll probably have to go the vet route, so what will the vet do for him to remove the scur? Will he have to be sedated? If so with what?

 

Ick I forgot I posted those photos, not a lovely sight to see first thing in the morning...lol

My friend got back to me. She won't mess with them because of their size. She'd prefer I call the vet and have him take care of them.

So here we, starting the New Year off with a vet bill! I locked the mare up so she wouldn't cause me another bill and here it is a goat. When 2010 comes in, I will bubble wrap everyone. LOL. :crazy
I haven't seen him yet today. Im late on doing chores. Stayed up way too late last night so Im slow moving this AM. Will up date on him when I get back in from chores.

 

Just came in from chores. The horn is still firmly attached. There was minimal bleeding. Not enough to be concerned about. His eye appears to be swollen, it looks very weird. I'll try to get a photo of it. And I'll take his temperature to. I tried to clean his face up last night but that was very hard and didn't get that accomplished. Even tied up tight to the fence he still fought. He didn't want me anywhere near his horn/head area.

Today though, my mom will be home so hopefully we can get that accomplished since there will be two of us.

Im calling the vet first thing in the morning. I wish they were open today but nope...in the same boat as I was last year when the dumb mare hurt herself.

 

They probably already do! One year, I believe it was 2007, we had a vet call almost every month. Yes it was 2007..... Feb was for Spirit (Mini) March two kids had coccidia, April- Dandy cut his hoof open and was dead lame on it. Infection ugh. May- health papers June- horse vaccines July- Delilah injured her self Aug- My dog cut her leg. Sept-November....I cant remember. The mare got hurt Dec. 31st so we didn't have that vet bill until Jan. this year....

And then this year oh boy I wont even start. :/
