Got one gored tonight. What do you guys think? He is doing OK. Eating, drinking and walking fine. He is licking it and keeping it clean. Any suggestions?

Jay Don,

Where is he gored?? Hard to tell by pic........it does not look that deep......I would spray with iodine or something..........If you know who did the goring i think i would be cutting his antlers off at least. Good Luck Jay!
 
Anything you put on it, he will lick off. If possible to give penicilin for 3 days, sub-cu, that would be my choice. If not possible, just keep a close eye on it. He will probably keep it clean. The key to a puncture is that it doesn't scab over and become an abcess. If the animal is able to reach it and lick it, they prevent a scab from forming, the wound can drain, and it will usually be ok on its own.
