[QUOTE="regolith, post: 622472, member: 9267"] I guess you have similar drugs/protocols to NZ. Masticillin, mamyzin, tylan and engemycin are all injectibles, all prescription-only, that I've used. In my opinion tylan is a waste of time (though some vets like it). Masticillin would be my first-choice for a multi-quarter strep uberis. Sometimes an additional intra-mammary can help serious cases; sad news is this one sounds too far gone. If the watery milk is scant and brownish and the cow is sick she's not likely to recover anything of those quarters, is my experience. But 'watery milk' that is thin and white sounds more like self-cured mastitis (and if you can milk it out easily that's almost certainly what it is). I've never seen quarters like that return to normal milk, though for all I know it might be nutritious enough for a calf. Yellow watery with a few specks - the infection is still raging and there's a chance of curing it with the antibiotics. As said - 20 mins is way too long to wait after giving oxytocin. 1 - 2 minutes, then put calves on or milk her. Pretty much all these antibiotics have a month meat withholding - if she doesn't come right and is dried off she should have some meat value in six weeks or so. [/QUOTE]
