Disbudded all the way?

So the vet came out about a week ago, and my kids horns were pretty long, as they were about 3 wks old. It took her a while to do it, and a few of the kids he horns didn't get burnt off-- the top of the horn. Will they fall off, or just stay that way?

Yes they will fall off, may take awhile ....I have two lamancha girls who are 10 weeks today, and they were done about 3 weeks....both of them has lost one of the true burnt horns, and then it scabs, and then finally hair grows over! Takes longer than I thought. My boar baby just lost both of hers, both of her scabs took over a month to fall off.

First the burnt part will fall off and then that scabs, then that scab falls off and then the hair grows.

Make sure if it bleeds when I falls off you iodine it!
