We raise mainly calves & normally don't keep them long as theres a good market for them & their sold at an average of 3 months to 5 months old.
Our normal routine for pnumonia has been :
if its moderate & not very bad ..la 200
if its anything more..penicillan..
I don't wanna get into buying perscription drugs, I know alot would disagree but here We don't fool with vets unless its just a multy case. ( meaning 3 or more with the same symptoms & it has to be bad)
We doctor our own & learning better ways of doing it & better meds to use. We generally loose 2 a year on average .. cept last year we got a bad string of pnumonia & after $800 to the vet & loosing 17 calves made my mind set on doing it all on my own.
I thank you for your time & trouble
