[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 204006, member: 852"] It can work well. :nod: Been there done that. I do have one yearling heifer here that was treated as a calf. BUT- that was long before I knew it was prohibited. As of July of '98, and yet my vet still recommends it and prescribes it. That's the biggest reason I tell folks now not to blindly trust everyone who offers advice or has a DVM after their name. Have to do your own research. I don't give drugs if I don't know what they are, why they're prescribed, and what side effects and withdrawal times accompany them. Here's the list of banned drugs, for your reference. [url=http://www.saanendoah.com/prohibiteddrugs.html]http://www.saanendoah.com/prohibiteddrugs.html[/url] I have a policy now that I won't treat any bull calves with gentamycin...heifer calves I [i]might[/i], under certain circumstances. Due to the worth of the calves and that they won't be entering the milking herd before they're about 24 months of age, so under certain circumstances and only orally (for scours), not IM/SC, I [i]might [/i]consider using it on a heifer. Not that I'd make a standard practice of using that stuff - it [b]isn't [/b]allowed and it'd have to be a special case, as well as a [i]very [/i]young calf. But then I keep track of what all my animals have been treated with and when, and I'm careful on withdrawals. To answer your question- IMO your vet did you wrong on two counts. One, prescribing that drug in the first place. Secondly, not telling you the restrictions on it, side effects, and extended withdrawal times on the drug. JMO. [/QUOTE]
