same calf still subject of pneumonia

Like I said I gave those shots before lunch, tonight her temp is still 102 but she drank her whole bucket of milk for the first time since last Sat. and appears more alert. Can it help that much this quick?

The dexamethasone will bring the fever down and make her feel better quickly .

She drank another whole bucket of milk and her temp is still down this morning. Thanks I will keep you posted I know we are a long way from being completely healed.

I give you credit.. you and she are both fighters!

Sounds like you might be on the down hill slide.. keep us posted! I sure hope she makes it for you!

Yesterday her temp was 102.2 all day and this am. She took her full bucket of milk both feedings yesterday and again this am. I gave her the second dose of Tylan 200 yesterday and today is the last dose of dexamethasone. Tomorrow is the last dose of SMZ-TMP, I still give her probios after every feeding. Her head is up a little higher but she makes a terrible grinding noise with her back teeth? I had mentioned her teeth were brown, I'm still not for sure about that.

Larry if she goes downhill after the meds are finished how soon will it happen?

Thanks to everyone for all you have done to help !

Her temp is going back up it is 103.3 her head is back down, and she only took half of her bucket of milk. Things sure change quick, it is very sad.

[larryshoat]

I think you have both fought this thing as hard as you could and I respect that, sometimes it just is too much of an up hill fight .

If the problem has cropped up this quickly it hasn;t been hit hard enough long enough. Problem is that you've used about every tool available as much as possible. That only leaves one tool left in the arsenal.

Well Sunday after I made my update I waited 2hours and took her another 1/2 bottle of milk and she took it. Today Monday she has taken all of her milk and her temp was back down to 102.2. I let her out of her pen today and she stood for a long time. She is back in her clean pen and had her milk. I will keep you posted.

Hit her with some nuflor or something already.

I had one last year that was sick with fever and on again off again for 5 weeks...he made it, and doing fine..I did draxin, baytril..then as a last resort 2 penicillin shots & banamine shots..I think the baytril was what brought him through. Hope she makes it, sounds like she is a fighter.

I see from the photo that she has had an ear infection, I can see that she doesn't hold her head straight and I remember you talking about her not being able to drink from a bottle . These are difficult to clear up and it takes a long time .

Here you go.

She does not look so good. She has sick eyes. Am wondering what your vet will suggest.
Thank you for keeping us updated. Keep in mind now that I see her, that even though it is good to fight for them, sometimes there are things worse than dying, you know? Maybe discuss with your vet long term issues and short term prognosis.
