cattle cough

[happyhollowfarm]

I have a cow that has had a cough for over a month. I have given her LA 200 but she still has the cough.

Have talked to your vet?

I have a cow that has had a cough for over a month. I have given her LA 200 but she still has the cough.

Any other symptoms? Loss of weight? Droopy ears? Sluggish?

I have seen cows that have a chronic cough, no other symptoms, just a cough their whole life.

same as iso, but last year i had a lot of calves with a cough in late summer & i never could figure why but it did not bother them & after a long time it straightened out

Had cow with an on and off chronic cough. Vet checked okay, no fever, nothing ever developed, and no other animals got sick. Other than that she was healthy.
So it was decided it was a "dust" or "irritation" type cough.
Animals can get lung worm though, so a good blast of de-wormer won"t hurt anything.

Is she still eating and drinking good? Does she have a snotty discharge coming from her nose?

She has lost weight and was sluggish in the beginning. Seems to have more energy since giving her the LA 200. She eats good and drinks lots of water. Now she just coughs and is still kinda bony looking compared to my other cows. The vet thinks it may be allergies and will go away after we have a frost (which may be tonight).

Did the vet actually see her? If she were mine & in the condition you described, I woulx suspect that she has a load of parasites.

I would recommend you worm her and try Duramycin-72-200 as it is a broad spectrum antibiotic for a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
