[QUOTE="ccr, post: 1636986, member: 28887"] On day 3 after administering LA 300 on the calf, that had foam coming out of his mouth, contacted the vet and he said probably bad pneumonia and needed something stronger than LA 300, but not Resflor Gold because Nuflor is "too hot" (the weather temp was 103° today). Vet came out and gave him draxxin, IV sulfa, and banamine (his temp was 105.1). While the vet was here we ran the other 6 calves thru the chute, which the vet said looked good and were probably ok, but we checked their temp. They had temps ranging from 104° to 107°, but not showing sickness symptoms. These 6 all got a draxxin injection. Not sure I trust these temps. We checked one calf with the thermometer we have been using and it was 0.6° (104.3° v 104.9°) different than vet’s thermometer. One calf we had to run thru twice. Using the vet’s thermometer on both times the temp that was taken there was 1.1° difference. These calves were vaccinated at 5 months and again at 6 months with ViraShield 6+VL5 and Covexin 8, 3 to 4 weeks prior to weaning (their now 7 to 9 months old). Didn't have this problem last year with same vaccinations and protocol. Thanks to all for help and suggestions. I would have probably waited till they started showing more symptoms and were closer to death before we did something without y'alls suggestions - this is why I joined this board and appreciate the advice.
