[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 353991, member: 1346"] My hubby's boss bought 3 young bulls and lost one and is about to lose the 2nd.......... one doesn't always know how far they travelled to get to the salebarn you bought from..... nor if the seller EVER vaccinated them which would compromise their immune system as well. Sorry for your loss. On a side note, the vet I use has said they've had more problems with pneumonia the past few months than usual. I thought perhaps because we've had a colder than usual February but maybe its something else. As far as Nuflor vs Baytril......... I bought some calves in Dec. to go on the holstein cow and I was giving Nuflor 6cc subq every 3 days and it wasn't getting them over it..... they get a little better and then sick again (snotty noses and scours). I was also giving Probios and electrolytes. Went and got some Baytril and that got em over it........ one dose. 2 of the 6 calves had to get a 2nd dose but they survived. When the calves on pasture started getting sick we run them all through and gave each - one shot of Baytril and that knocked it...... but I guess it depends on what type of bacterial problem you have (I really don't know why one works better at times than the other, except there are gram positive and gram negative bacteria and drugs will work well on one but not the other and vice versa). My vet recommended PolySerum to be used on bottle and feeder calves (especially when you aren't sure if they've had colostrum or any vaccinations) and you might want to check into that as its a vaccination and I think I paid $23 for a 250 ml bottle, so its cheap.
