[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1842946, member: 42782"] Do cattle get rain rot? - It has rained 20" here since the first of the year. A few days ago I noticed my old Jersey (born 2011) out in the pasture furiously whipping her tail over her back and trying to turn around and trying to lick her tailhead area. Brought her up and slick but dry mud was plastered on her topline in the sacral area. Almost like she had fallen flipped upside down in mud or some thing.. I got a curry comb and curried the dry mud off. There were hairless areas under the mud that looked like rain rot on a horse. Bald flakey areas with small amounts of bloody excoriation in spots. People here in SW Oregon keep their horses in turnout blankets the whole winter to prevent rain rot. I keep mine in turnouts for the same reason. Anyway, I figured this was either rain rot or or lice. So I used ivermectin pour on, and have been keeping her up and spraying on Vetericyn every day for a few days. Looks like it is healing up just fine. [/QUOTE]
