[QUOTE="LGodlove, post: 466319, member: 7367"] I want to ask Larry and Milkmaid a question. I agree that the pneumonia started 2-weeks ago. I have a now 3-week old calf I got at the sale barn, and am treating him now for it. My question is this: when I buy a calf at the sale barn and transport him to my pen, what is the best possible protocol to follow as far as medicines and food go. I currently administer 5mL of LA200, then give the calf a 2-qt bottle of electrolytes=Re-sorb right away and I think with my next ones I'm going to drench them with mineral oil to clean their system out. Now, you both would probably not even buy a calf at the sale barn--I know, I know that everyone says not to--but that's how I get mine. What steps would you take from the beginning to give the little fellow the best possible start? Thank you for your answers, you both sound very knowledgeable. [/QUOTE]
