[QUOTE="mischief, post: 615691, member: 8449"] Calves that have bovine respiratory complex ("shipping fever") usually have a multitude of infectious organisms in there lungs. The white fluid you saw in her nostrils was probably fluid from her lungs. When cattle have pneumonia and other types of respiratory infections it can take a lot of antibiotics and medications to turn them around. And if there is enough damage to their lungs they don't turn around and do well. There is no one time treatment for this-as much as the drug manufacturers would like us to believe. I have seen cattle with this problem appear to be doing fairly well, maybe just a little slow, then "suddenly" drop dead. When they are necropsied (animal autopsy) their lungs are almost solid with infection. You did not mention where you got her-if she came through the sale yard and had not previously been vaccinated, she was exposed to a lot of infection and could have had several types of infection. Hopefully the rest of your herd is fine-this stuff is contagious as all get out. [/QUOTE]
