Calf hurt hip. Calf no walkie.
Fat grandfather type asshole pick up 200# calf. Carry to barn.
Calf have mild hypothermia. Papa apply 99.9% DMSO, massage calf hip for two days.
Calf gets up on own this evening. Yay!
Papa has loose bowels. Why? DMSO side effects...yay...I got a dose like he did.
Would I do it again? Hell yes. I don't know that latex gloves would hold up to it, it has been used as a solvent for over 150 years. Whatever is on your skin is absorbed with the DMSO. No amount of soap and water would remove the smell of cow from my right hand.
But if you've livestock, I highly recommend this stuff as an anti-inflammatory. Not everyone will have an adverse reaction to it.
