See if this helps you. http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index ... /60202.htm

This is a not very scientific WAG, but with the dead smell and dropping temp after the high temp and infection,and the cold to the touch it almost sounds like some form of sepsis or blood poisoning. He's sure lasted a long time if that's what it is though. I would have expected him to have quit...

:lol: Always happy to help keep the youngsters from going too far astray. Hope we're not too late.

Deaconcreek, this is a link from OSU extension that has some good information. Your vet can give you more details on products, dates and timing. http://fairfield.osu.edu/ag/beef/beeffeb7.html

Something like this. Some have ends in them and are completely enclosed. http://www.leopold.iastate.edu/pubs/nwl ... /hoops.htm

Sorry to tell you Richie, I know of an Amish colony that had several cases of polio this year.

Spend a few dollars more and get a good one. Ask your vet what kind he has. I bought a cheaper one, thinking I wouldn't use it very often, and I've never been happy with it. If you don't hit it straight enough it will bind. The ones the vets carry work a lot smoother. It takes a little practice...

Lilly, how many of those bolus aspirin come in a box? I've never used them, always just generic (cheap) people aspirin.

If all the pasture looks like where she is standing, it looks like it might be a little thin.

It's oligosaccharide. I would guess all of the major feed companies would have it available- though maybe not in stock at the feed store. It's a carb that comes from the outer cell wall of yeast I think. Supposed to bind up the bad pathogens in the digestive tract and allow them to pass instead...

I believe you. I have heard it before. Some louder than others. Sorry Scotty-Can't help you there. I wouldn't think of arguing with someone with inside information. :lol:

If it's only when she is relaxed, could it be some kind of apnea? When she relaxes something in her airway hangs down and catches the air. This sounds silly, but I wonder if she snores loudly at nap time?

OK, we'll use their name for it. Perfomance enhancing drug. It is still illegal. And the book says so. Anything that tests positive gets a dq whether you were aware of the drug being illegal or not. Forget about the "pasture crap" calf- Lets say you and two others are standing top three in the...

It's a steroid. I think you will be waiting a long time for Houston to change their mind. What does your exhibitor manual say about banned substances?

Old cow here stepped on a lag bolt a few years ago. Had quite a time getting it out. Flushed it out and gave her LA200. She healed up fine.

Hey MPR- My Mom used to throw all kinds of garden stuff into the feedlot. They love it. Steers would line up at the fence when they saw her bringing the stuff. Cows will about fight over sweet corn stalks. Apples, pears and such too. A lot of cattle in citrus country eat oranges and stuff all...

diamond-a Please explain the benefit of pulling calves that are coming fine on their own.

That doesn't sound good. Have you called the vet back since a month ago? Since we can't see him, seems like that would be the best idea.

Lice, Ringworm? Try a search of the posts on these and see if anything sounds familiar.

First thing is make sure you don't get infected. What does your vet say you can do? I looked this up in my old (outdated) vet manual. According to it,you would not want to keep the cow because she is a carrier. Not sure how you'd handle that. It lists five sources for infection. Recovered cows...
