[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 252537, member: 852"] Quick update; went and gave my vet a call this evening just to see what he thought. Got lucky and he actually answered his cell phone even though it was 6pm. :P He felt that if the Rally20 didn't open up her lungs enough to bring her breathing down to a normal rate (he felt 44bpm would be fine for her size) that dexamethasone in addition to everything else would take the inflammation out of her lungs and do the trick. Of course that's only temporary, but I can certainly see the point in allowing her to breath easier while the antibiotics took effect. I told him I was going with the multi-day therapy on Baytril and dosing her at the higher end (8cc's/day) and so planning to go to 3 days and then...well, hopefully by then she'd be well. :lol: Thanks for the input on the temps, Karen. I just like the anti-inflammatory action of Banamine (and cetainly prefer it over Dex's inhibition of the immune system) and that calf obviously needs some help - even if it's just basic making her feel better. If she doesn't look back to normal and breathing at a normal rate by the third day of treatment I'll swap antibiotics over to something else. Hopefully she will respond to treatment and she'll recover completely. Don't like chronic cases. I'm always open to new suggestions BullLady -- I don't know everything there is to know and I know I haven't dealt with this before. ;-) What's the thought behind using LA200 vs Baytril or vs something like Nuflor? Oh - and FWIW, temp at 103.5 this evening (I know, I know), resp about 50bpm, gave her Baytril, Rally20, Banamine, and Dexamethasone. (She's going to look like a pincushion by the time I'm done. :?) She went out and grazed with the rest of the herd when they went out a few hours later -- even caught her trotting back to the barn with them but I think that was more of "peer pressure" since all the rest of the calves were running. She moves pretty stiffly (maybe has something to do with all the shots she's had!) and still doesn't look like she feels very good at all. I'll keep ya'll posted - and thanks for the link, dun.
