This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: GROUP C LAB 2 - DEHORNING OF CALVES, Oxyvet Active Ingredients Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride 2.5g per 100mls Oxyvet - A broad spectrum antibiotic which aids in protecting against an array of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria Gentian Violet 0.3g per 100mls Oxyvet - Assists in the quick recovery of the damaged tissues and its colour allows for easy identification of the animals that were recently dehorned, Preparation of Intruments (mouse over) Involves Syringes, Preparation of Surgical Site HOW? Shaving the hair around the base of each horn with a blade., Nerve block in Sheep and goats(mouse over), Matabicheira Aerosol Fort Dodge Active Ingredients Supona 0.34mls per 100mls Matabicheira Aerosol Fort Dodge - Protects the wound and prevents the introduction of insects and any reoccurrence of infestations at the site of the wound Vapona 0.51mls per 100mls Matabicheira Aerosol Fort Dodge - Instantly paralyzes fly larvae to help prevent myiasis, BARNES DEHORNER Pros - comes in different sizes - smaller dehorners can be used for calves -8 months old - larger sizes can be used for older cattle, Close the handles together to open the jaws of the dehorner Step 2 press the jaws of the dehorner over and against the based of the horn bud., What do we need to know? HORN ANATOMY Process of Disbudding, DRUGS Antibiotics Penstrep-400 LA, Drugs(mouse over for formula) Why? Xyaline - A sedative that is given to control excitability. Lidocaine - A local anesthetic given to provide analgesia to the surgical site., Physical examination is divided into Hands-on Exam, Nose Pinch Used as Method of distraction, Gigli Handle and Wire Dehorner Complications Sinusitis - an infection in the frontal sinus which can affect the health and production of the animal Hemorrhage, Process of Disbudding Tool Caustic Paste, Gigli Handle and Wire Dehorner Step 1 The hair around the area of both horns are clipped and cleaning, The wire should be placed as low as possible to ensure all tissue containing horn producing cells are removed. Step 4 Once the Horn is removed, a hot iron should be placed at the site immediately to cauterize the blood vessles and prevent hamorrhage., A ring around the horn is cut one cm away from the base of the horn Step 3 The wire is then used to remove the horn by moving it back and forth, starting from the back of the horn, coming forward as the wire cuts through., Restraint is achieved by Sedatives (mouse over), Penstrep-400 LA Type of Drug & Use - A long acting (LA) antibiotic which each active ingredient plays a key role in protecting against specific types of bacteria in attempt to prevent any secondary bacterial infections - Procaine penicillin G and Benzathine penicillin are small spectrum penicillin drugs with antibacterial properties to fight against mostly Gram positive bacteria - Dihydrostreptomycin sulphate is an aminogylcoside with antibacterial properties to fight against mostly Gram negatiive bacteria, Physical examination is divided into Animal Demeanor: Alert and Responsive
