[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8791"] Have you ever had any problem with blackleg on your place? If not, how many shots of LA-200 have you given the heifer? LA-200 needs to be given 3 days in a row to get in the blood stream. Did you raise the heifer yourself or did you purchase her recently? Because the symptoms sound a lot like shipping fever. Is she doing any coughing? The foaming at the mouth are signs of respiratory problems.
