Foot Rot: necrobacillosis

Jennifer - all of the above, also Excede/Excenel/Naxel (all the same drug, just in different strengths), Nuflor, Baytril and Micotil (careful with this one, very dangerous to handle and extremely strong) are all labeled for Foot Rot, so it will depend on the strain you are fighting. It is a nasty bug, especially in wet, hot Texas. Fusoguard is part of our protocol, just remember that a vaccine is not a treatment, so get it cleared up before you give the vaccine. Just like a flu shot, the vaccine is a tiny dose of the bug in order for a tolerance to develop, so if the bug is already present, you just add to its strength.



Good luck with it!

Jennifer, the Tetradure will help, also do the peroxide mixed with iodine. Use 5% iodine to 95% peroxide. Warm it up soak hoof for 20 minutes. Also use the lime in the walk ways and around the feeders. This happened here once and this worked great. It was during a very wet period, only one deer though. He healed very slowly. It is 3 years later now and he still walks with a very slight limp. Good luck, Jeff.

We have a buck that gets it every year about htis time when we have lots of rainfall and pens stay really wet and muddy.We give him about 4cc of excedend soak his foot in a foot rot solution.He usally wont even step on it and after this treatment within 2 days he doesnt even have a limp anymore. Hope it works for you. Good Luck
