[QUOTE="Bez>, post: 362804, member: 6007"] Kay Yes they can get dysentry. It is also contagious. It does not truly sound like dysentry - but I am not a veterinarian - it is quite different from scours. Is there blood in the stool? We ran through this a couple of years ago with some yearlings and moving them to fresh ground cleared the trouble up in a couple of days as per our veterinarian's suggestion. There is no vaccination for this to my knowledge. If this is a persistant problem I would suggest a sample of the stool be taken for examination for confirmation. You might also try travelling around the Merck site - there may be some info for you. I am willing to bet your mud has something to do with it and it will clear up when the mud does. It is my understanding that this problem is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated feed and water. In other words if the "squirt" lands on hay or in water and another takes a bite / drink - they will catch it. One quote I found on Merck states - [i]The disease has a high morbidity but low mortality, and spontaneous recovery within a few days is typical.[/i] Good luck Bez> [/QUOTE]
