[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 75642, member: 1101"] Blackleg is in fact a bacterium, and can be treated as such. The vet. manual from Dr. Bruce Haynes, on page 171, reads that in fact penicillen is the treatment for blackleg. If you confirm even one case of it in your herd, assume all the others have or will get it and treat accordingly, as this disease is very fast acting (acute) and is almost 100% fatal to what ever catches it. If in fact you are able to save any cattle that contract it, you are likely to have a lame animal that sheds the disease on and off for the rest if it's life! This is definately one of those times when prevention is worth the little effort and money it would cost you. :cboy: Good Luck! :cboy: [/QUOTE]
