[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 224205, member: 852"] She was on Spectramast for 8 days at the beginning - she'd had a positive ecoli result about a week prior, and I just figured it was ecoli. Didn't run a culture when she turned clinical. But as my vet put it, bacteria are creatures of opportunity. I'll bet that's when she was first infected with staph. She may have had ecoli before, but the staph jumped right in. We put her on Spectramast for the ecoli I thought she had, but it came back after coming off treatment. FWIW, Spectramast is the same stuff as Excenel, just packaged in an IMM tube. I can't treat her again with Spectramast. We've put cows on Twin Pen before -- I'm aware of the withdrawals. Had one fresh cow on Twin Pen recently for a serious uterine infection. Every other day treatment for about 10 days and about a 10 day withdrawal. Another cow on Twin Pen daily for about 10 days with a 2 1/2 week withdrawal. It's not too big a deal to have 311 out of the tank as the milk goes to the calves; not like we're pouring it down the drain. [/QUOTE]
