Caustic paste may be very messy and may cause damage to animal. If being used, ensure it does not get to other parts of the animal or to other animals. It is also unreliable so it is not recommended. 2. Shave/clip hair well since when heat is applied the burning hair may cause excessive smoke. 3. Blow smoke away when doing procedure; this helps with seeing the area better as well as cooling the area. 4. Hold head firmly when doing procedure to ensure that the iron stays in one place and to prevent any movement by the kid which may lead to damage of the handler and the kid. 5. Wear thick heat resistant gloves to prevent any damge from the iron. 6. Ensure the iron is very hot (red in colour) througout the procedure so that contant time can be as short as possible. 7. Ensure the iron is not left in contact for longer than 10 seconds to prevent any further damage (do it at 3 second intervals). 8. Recheck animals to ensure that procedure was done correctly. 9. Ensure that kid was given tetanux antitoxin., Pre-Op Involves ASA Grades (scroll over), Methods of Horn Removal Disbudding Pre-Op, PREVENTION & TREATMENT: Some degree of red- ness & swelling is expected as trauma was inflicted & wound healing takes place. Severity can be reduced with NSAIDs. ???? Redness & Swelling, Methods of Horn Removal Disbudding Intra-Op, Pre-Op fasting, PREVENTION: Ensuring all horn bud cells are removed during disbudding by making sure there is a complete golden brown ring around bud. Ensuring all horn bud cells are removed during dehorning by taking 2-3cm around horn base. TREATMENT: Doing a second disbudding/ dehorning proceedure. ????
