    I dont believe you are farming without a thermometer.

    Don't rule out a prod or puck. Not all lumps are as they seem.

    Best thing for timber tongue would be noroclav or similar, prob about 50 for a big cow.
    Have you tried manipulating it , movin it from side to side, can she chew her cud.
    Make sure it's not a broken jaw , unfortunately if it is you are stuck wit her. No factorying her after the drugs.
    Lost one 2 months ago with a broken jaw, but hasn't drugged her before vet seen and got her to the factory so not a total loss.

    streptomycin is the treatment for timber tongue, how is the cow this morning, is she up to date dosing wise also is she long in calf, some drugs can not be used in pregnant animals
