Another suggestion is to put baking soda in a small feeder, where the calves can have access to it at all times. It works wonders. Make sure it is fresh everyday.

The bronchitis is the main problem w/ this they always don't have a fever- after excursion,especially after nursing, that is when the temp rises and rapidly pants. He is doing very well. They have been in since last episode. hoping all is good when they are turned out.Hopeful Sat. will be last...

Thank You MD, I appreciate your comments

I could say alot of things to answer the last few posts,but I won't. I do know my cattle very well and I am sure you have had that gut feeling, that something is not quite right. That is why I took her temp. Sorry to have intruded in to your space.

Thought about that (thermometer)used a new one also. Believe me I do keep a close eye on all of them. Thanks

Heifer's temp this a.m. was 102.2 eating, chewing cud, lungs and resp. good. I realize it is not easy to analyze a problem on here, I am concerned about antibiotics given, being pregnant. If it comes to that. In your experience which meds would be safe? Thank you for your input.

Heifer due to calve in March, has a temp of 104.7. this evening. She ate her grain, but not a much hay, acting normal, no cough or snots,good manure. The weather has been very cold and windy, warmed up today, 20 degrees. Any suggestions? Thank You

Thank you for the replys,heifers are still snotty but less coughing, just a few, mainly in the morning. Weather still crappy, high winds, rainy 39 degrees. Eating and temps good, cold weather is an adjustment for humans and animals alike. Keeping an eye on them. Have a great day!!!11

I have 2 bred heifers w/ a cough and yellow and white snotty noses. The nasal discharge is only in the morning. Temps are good and they are eating good. Our weather in Ohio has been rain almost everyday for 2 weeks and in the 70's one day 30's the next day. any suggestions? This is the 3rd...

That is a very good question, I guess when manure is runny I say scours. The manure is alot looser than the cows. It is the consistancy of mustard. thanks

I have a 3 mo.beef steer, still nursing eating grain, grass, hay doing great,full of energy chewing cud. This a.m. he has the green scours,seems like when our calves are 2-3 mo. old they get this. We have a very sanitary environment,cows have plenty to eat everyone is healthy, but this drives me...

Thank you for the kind replies- Finially she has normal manure. It takes some time for a calf to adjust to the grass and rumen kicking in. Thanks

She had no trouble nursing when born, mama has plenty of milk. I know she got colostrum when born. She is nursing fine, eating some timothy hay & picking some grass, chewing her cud and playing. temp ok

I have a 3 wk. old calf that has been doing great, but the last 2 dys. she goes to poop and just green and clear mucous comes out. I have not had this before. Any knowledge of this would be appreciated.

Thanks for the information

Would any one mind giving me the instructions on using the spec. scour halt This med. is labeled for pigs, but many have said, they use it for calves. Recomended dosage and age of calves. Also if you use any other meds w/ it. Thank you
