I have a 5 year old cow that is 3 months preg. She has acted sluggish for the last couple of months. Otherwise she does not seem to be sick. Eats well, drinking plenty of water and wet nose. I would say that her body condition is about a 6. She just hangs around the barn, hay rack etc. and does not graze with the other cattle like she used to. I called the vet and he said that his bet is that she is anemic. He said that he is seeing preg. cows that have a parasite that makes them anemic. Pour-on does not help in this situation. He said that if this is the case, I have two choices. #1 to give her daily shots of 50cc LA-200 for about 2 weeks. #2 give her Aureomycin in her minerals. I have found a supply for Aureomycin 4G to be put in the feed. Is this the right stuff? I need to get this situation under control as I am afraid that it will affect her calf. What is your experience with this?
