[QUOTE="Crazy Farmgirl, post: 870693, member: 17302"] I have never heard of a cow becoming "immune" to coccidiosis? To my understanding per the Vet all will have some in their system but during times of stress (illness, internal parasite, poor diet, ect) the level can increase to the point of overload then treatment is required. Also don't understand why you believe it's "too late to treat this heifer"? *********** Moloss I would be concerned about what else is going on with this heifer to weaken her system to allow the cocci to overload. As stated before watch for dehydration. I would also isolate her and keep an eye on the rest of the cattle for any signs of cocci. Did the vet suggest preventative treatment for the rest? Especially if you have young ones in the heard I'd be concerned as they are more susecptible. [/QUOTE]
