[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 618849, member: 6198"] Miss Onthebit, I can readily dispense advice. But I choose not to. I choose to get the producer to do it so the producer learns how to do it right, use the right drugs, and get the right drug advice. A phone call to a vet that you have taken the time to cultivate a relationship with is usually free. Or the cost of a payphone. The vet should be the first line of defense for any livestock producer when the life of an animal is at stake, and you are trying to make money. II say this because, we are shooting in the dark when replying. The owner might end up waiting a few extra days trying CT solutions and that could delay the right and prper treatment. I'm sorry if i have offended you but that is really too bad. Calling the vet is sound advice. Do you know the persons husbandry habits? Do you know what they feed, how they feed, the weather? Do you know the history of the animals on the farm? Probably not, but the vet should. Call the vet is sound advice so a professional can help the person out with professional advice. The up to date knowledge on drugs, and treatments. Please notice I also suggested other info. Info that was not present and needed in making a sound judgement call. And DO NOT single me out on this, there are many people who say call the vet. A few good and seasoned posters come to mind And a good day to you! PS you might want to check out some of my prevous posts, say the first 1000, majority in health and nutrition and breeding and calving, and you would see that there are many posts with details on how to do what, what to do, and when to do it.
