    Fudicin H, cream used to be the recommended treatment , don't expect it to work overnight

    Another cure was dip it into neat jeyes fluid, I know, I know, LC will be on in a minute telling us it's an absolute disgrace, :o

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Bit slow off the mark there, with the long weekend and all, but would hate to let ye down, when I am sent for like this.

    Yeah, it isn't great stuff to be getting into the food supply by putting it on cow's teats - http://www.bashplots.org.uk/COSHH/Jeyes%20Fluid.pdf

    That won't stop anyone on this forum, shure lash it in, kill or cure.

    Tried it with a heifer last year. Took a lot of treatment, 2-3 weeks, twice a day. It cured it in so far as the black spot went away, but the teat always remained slowish. When I put it on, i just dipped the very end of the teat in the jeys, left it for a half minute or so, then sprayed with teat dip to rinse off.
    Have had it on one or two cows and failed. What ever you do dont put up a canula. She will inevitably get mastitis. Worth a try but drying off the quarter can often be the best option.

    Have you got any better suggestions? I just know from experience that it works.
