    Lost 3 to blackleg

    One way to tell is the animal will have bubbles under the skin-best to give everyone in that pen a shot of penicillin. I had one die from it when I first started farming and that is what our vet did.

    heifer got stuck in feed bunk

    The Vet is the one who told me to use these 2 drugs, I have used them in the past with no issues-You can't use the Dex more than twice though, but they can be used together, and the heifer is dead-

    Probably be dead within a few days, I had one like this a few weeks ago, about the same age, holstein though, and even with with isolation and extra care it didn't make it. It was weaned already, but I figured it had gotten the bug they sometimes get, got weakened, so I put it on antibiotics...
