[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 873075, member: 53"] Moloss, my 3 weanlings have finished the 5-day treatment phase of Corid in their water. I asked the PhD whether to put them on the grain with rumensin (or deccoxx) in it (one of them won't eat grain at all). He said as long as they are drinking the water with the Corid in it, I can continue that at the "prevention" level, which is half the amount of the treatment level Corid, so that's what I shall do. (I'd rather not get the grain with rumensin at $78 for a 50# bag, but also because that is poisonous to equine and I have donkeys here.) I also asked about a 3 yr. old bull who has poop all over his butt; the answer to that was "benign neglect" - do nothing - probably just the result of green grass. Until now, I've never had any coccidiosis in my cattle; evidently, it usually affects the younger one, weanlings in particular. I will probably get another fecal done after 3 weeks of the prevention level and see where we stand. Your heifer is older than my little guys; perhaps now that she has been treated, her appetite will improve and she'll pick up the weight she lost. I hope so. Not sure if any of this helps you with your heifer, but just wanted to share what I learned tonight (A LOT about pinkeye too!!!). [/QUOTE]
