We banded our wether's scurs yesterday. We had decided to saw them at first. The OB saw didn't seem to work. It kept slipping off. We then used a file and filed a notch for the saw and it still didn't work. So we banded him instead. The rubber bands are on and they don't seem to bother him. He still act normal...in fact, more friendly today. Good for me! Don't know if the band is doing anything. If the band doesn't work, our next step would be taking him to the Vet and have them surgically removed. Since it is not a full horn, I hope it would be a little easier. I am also wondering since the band doesn't bother him, if there is really not much blood vessel going through the scurs. My other wether's scurs are going bigger too....

It really doesn't seem like the bands are bothering him at all. He acts normal eat and play and still the first one to greet me and let me pet him.
