The fact that calves get pneumonia and scour all at the same time is common knowledge,,and yes I have seen it first hand because it happened before nuflor was even around your calf more than likely was going to start scouring anyways..
I had a long conversation with my vet just yesterday and he as well as many vets had just gotten back from a conference (not put on by drug suppliers) which involved new research and case studies.. Nuflor came up as well as Banamine in our conversation..Nuflor is still one of the best broad spectrum antibiotics out there for now and is very successful in combination of things as to treating scours , remember scours are a symptom/result of a bigger problem..Like I said they are just covering their butts...
My mother is on blood pressure medication with a diuretic and some of the side effects are excessive urinating and low blood pressure.. 8)
BTW banamine is very very hard on a calf's stomach and is a huge factor in perforated ulcers if over used ..
Larry the woman has probably ran for the hills already so I think it would be the man,, and NO I do not have personal experience with it ,,,,,,,,who has time for such nonsense.. :lol2:
I didn't know that, but I do know that terramycin is not very effective against scours and maybe that is part of the reason why . A ton of milk replacers have terramycin in them .
I also thought that is what was in medicated milk replacer.. :?
A sulfa based bolus is best, like calf span etc. on scours..
