[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1486969, member: 25884"] Pnuemonia and it seems to be very prevalent in this area this year on the dairies. The fact that she has energy is good but she needs to be on anti-biotics of some sort. Call your vet, tell him what you posted and ask if he has a suggestion for what antibiotic would do best. I would try penicillin or duramycin..... or mycotil or baytrill. Draxxin would be the "big guns". Once she gets cleared up then look into vaccination. Another thing, 45* with a blanket and heat lamp is probably too much. Cut off the heat lamp. Cows/calves most comfortable temps are 45-60 degrees. I suspect she is too hot with both. The blanket will prevent her from getting a chill, protect her from the wind, and enable her to keep her body temp regulated. Too warm is like you in a hot stuffy house. [/QUOTE]
