[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1327610, member: 9933"] I am not sure what you were saying above. "Resflor and second"? My Vet said give a double dose Nuflor SQ every 4th day rather than the normal dose IM every 2. I hope he is right in believing that is more effective. (Resflor and Nuflor are both Florfenicol from different companies). Do you know why Resflor is given 8 days before the switch to Oxy? When you had success, how long was it before you saw improvement in their breathing? It has been 4 days and she sounds neither better nor worse. Her temperature seems to stay about the same too. Running between 102.5 and 103.5. Talked to the Vet this morning and he said the smell is only noticed after the infection is worse, so your observation is consistent with that. He still believes we are dealing with diphtheria. He did not feel he needed to come out, and recommended following up the Florfenicol (Nuflor) with Oxytetracylene and some sulfur boluses. I have Noramycin 300 on hand, so we will try that. This calf was fine just two days prior to treatment, so I think I caught it early. I am surprised by how labored the breathing was considering she was perfectly normal 48 hours before. I had done an inventory two days before, and I spent a fair amount of time walking through the herd writing down tag numbers. Most of the calves were bunched up in a small area in the shade, so I don't think I could have missed the sound of her breathing. [/QUOTE]
