Hello,
I purchased a beautiful Alpine wether that was disbudded too late and is now growing scurs. The scurs seem to be very firmly attached, not wobbly like another wether I have. If they were wobbly I would not be concerned.
He is now almost 3 months old and I have found a vet who says he can remove them surgically if we get it done within the next few weeks. After that, it will be too much of an ordeal.
I have read that horn removal is a nightmare, but this is a scur removal and he is still a baby. I really do not want to have to get rid of this wether or deal with a bigger problem down the road.
Advice, anyone??
