Well it turned out to be an abscess that we assume was caused by her getting poked by the thorns on a locust tree. The vet used a heavy gauge needle to pull a sample out to see what it was then made about an inch and a half incision to drain it and flush with iodine solution. She gave her a shot...

I'll update tomorrow with info

I penned her and another cow up at the barn this evening just before dark and didn't run her thru the chute to check it out since the vet will be out early tomorrow morning.

I have a cow that has been grazing in a remote pasture with a softball sized growth on her right side just past her last rib approximately 1/3 of the way up her side. Would that be too high for a hernia or would it be something else? I tried to take a picture but isn't as easily noticed on...

I spoke with a neighbor last night and he heard that someone in the area was currently loosing a cow a day due to it. It definitely reinforces the need for continued treatment. So far all is good within my herd

The feed mill I picked up the Aureomycin at this morning had it in 50lb bags of crumbles so that was what I bought to be top dressed with their daily rations. The top dress rate is 1.6 oz/100 lbs animal weight for 5 days. My VFD runs thru April.

The cow died overnight last night. It's crazy how fast she went down considering Monday night she ran up to be fed and then to be dead 3 days later. I am on my way to pick up the Aereomycin table to put out with the rest of the herd and will post details about it when I get back home

We always switch syringe tips at vaccination time. At this point the vet did not seem to think we needed to test the rest of the herd but will be putting out a Aereomycin tub for them as a preventative.

Yes the vet instructed me to keep a watchful eye on the rest of the herd. They are all pulled back up close to the barn to easier monitor. Bright Raven....once I pick up the tub I will provide the details about the tub. Thanks

The vet said everything points towards anaplasmosis based on how anemic the cow is and what her blood looked like when she took a blood sample. She gave her a large dose of La 300, a multivitamin shot and 2 L of IV fluids and 5 to 7 days I need to give her another hit of La 300 and she wrote me...

They were turned into a hay field Monday evening that has some fresh lush growth of grass, clover and alfalfa and while I always use a high-mag mineral in spring I didn't think about for fall. There also are oak trees along the edge of that field. Vet is coming out at 1130am

We have a 7 year old Angus that isn't eating much, has lost some condition the past two days and is restless (will sit down then back up 10 minutes later) so we penned her up in the barn pasture last night. As the boys were walking her to the barn at dusk is was almost as if she couldn't see...

The Excede must have done the job. She is moving around this morning with no evidence of a limp. I will keep her up at the barn to keep an eye on her until mid-week when everyone comes up with their calves to be weaned. One interesting note...the Excede was injected in the backside of the...

Vet gave the cow a shot of Excede for foot rot and should see good results in the next 4 to 5 days.

She is getting around better but I still penned her up and the vet coming Wednesday afternoon to take a look. I will keep you posted

Thanks, that was my assumption but wanted to bounce it off of you all. I will separate her and her calf this evening and give the vet a call. Thanks again

We have a 7 year old Angus cow that is limping around with a swollen rear lower leg. The area that is swollen is the bone area above the hoof to below the knee. She is still covering ground to graze/eat and will stand at the hay ring to feed. I see the cattle every day and first noticed it last...

Not to take sides but I did have a 500 lb. steer calf that mysteriously lost condition and had runny diahrea. I tried a number of treatments for any and all conditions that would/could be causing one or both of these problems. I took him completley off of pellets and mineral and all of a sudden...

I bought Super Probotics tonight at Rural King but the rates listed are for horses, dogs and cats. Althught it does not list a rate for cattle, should it still be okay to use on cattle? The horse rate is a 5 cc scoop per day or 4 sscoops for chronic conditions and the dog/cat rate is 1/8 teapoon...
