[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 602049, member: 7398"] Well, looks like there's a first for everything. A 2 1/2 year old cow wasting away, the runs, ragedy coat . . . called the vet . . . she's going to call me tomorrow am I guess. I undertand it's bacterial and that it's usually picked up as a calf and stays dormant till the cows 2-3 years old, but what about treatment? Prevention - other than calving in clean areas which I do anyway to prevent scours? Helpful websites? From the Merck manual . . . maybe I don't know what I have . . . Chronic diarrhea with unthriftiness and wasting, seen as a sporadic disease, most commonly is associated with paratuberculosis ( Paratuberculosis: Introduction) but also may be caused by chronic salmonellosis and chronic BVD infections. Diarrhea with wasting also may be seen in cattle with congestive heart failure, uremia, or chronic peritonitis. Persistent diarrhea with unthriftiness, and occasionally wasting in yearling and mature cattle, can be associated with a secondary copper deficiency due to excess molybdenum in the pastures. Diarrhea may also accompany selenium-responsive ill-thrift syndromes in growing cattle. [/QUOTE]
