[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1286263, member: 19938"] Better ask your vet about the type of antibiotic for this particular calf. My experience with the chickens was a bit trying, to say the least. LA 300 did not work for the wound infections from the maggots. Through my research for the proper antibiotic for them, I came across a med chart indicating the Pen G daily. That did the trick! However your calf may have a different organism altogether. The only way to know is a culture and sensitivity of the drainage. Also, though we use a lot of cattle antibiotics in chickens they metabolize them completely different. It is also questionable of where the infection is with your calf.......wounds? Lungs? Intestinal? Blood? It really could be more than one problem, don't you think? [/QUOTE]
