To control the spread of harmful bacteria and infection, the use of antiseptics, antibacterial & disinfectants can help lessen the risks of exposure.
Things to Consider:
Short-term treatment – While often very helpful in the short-term, medications and solutions that are offered without a prescription should never be a replacement for serious conditions. Most treatments are temporary, and if no improvement is seen, usually within a week, you should seek the help of a veterinarian.
Storage – Products used to treat infections and other ailments should be properly stored inside in a temperature-controlled environment, rather can outside where they can become too hot and often lose their effectiveness.
Proper Cleaning & Dressing – If you are treating a wound on one of your calves or cows, be sure to keep it clean and dressed properly if necessary. Dirt and other harmful bacteria lurking around the stalls can worsen the problem.
