[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 218577, member: 852"] starting tomorrow. Subject? Cow #311. Lactating. 75 days fresh. Third lactation, I *think*. Culture at ~7 days past calving showed her clean of staph aureus. Culture at ~21 days past calving showed her clean of staph aureus. Culture last week showed staph - I suspect it's been there for a little while due to the way the quarter feels, but I don't think any longer than 30 days. Clinical signs; few clumps at forestripping and scar tissue in the L/R quarter. Udder appears normal otherwise. Treatment? 10 days on Twin Pen, 60ccs 1x/day. 7 days on Amoximast, 1 tube per milking (2x/day). Anticipated treatment cost - approximately $60 in drugs. Anticipated withdrawal time - approximately 14 days. Goal? A clean culture 15 and 30 days past coming off antibiotics. Still waiting on lab work to tell me what this stuff is succeptible to, but I'm going to go ahead and treat her now. How's that sound to the rest of you? [/QUOTE]
