I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some advice. We knocked one of our breeders down last week on Friday. He cut his main beam really deep on the inside. We cleaned it out really good and than we played the waiting game. It looked like it was going to heal. All of the sudden it started to bug him. He dug in and put his head into the fence and broke it off. Well long story short, we had to knock him down again last night. I cut off the rest of the velvet that was dead or going to die. I cleaned it off real well, put blood stop on it, put a tourniquet just behind his G3, and gave him a bath in fly spray. It would not stop bleeding, and we didn’t want to cut his antler all the way off as he still had quite a bit of growing to do. The picture on the left is a picture of his antler after it was treated. The picture on the right was after I cut the point off. If any of you have any ideas that might help me out on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
