[QUOTE="jt, post: 46844, member: 238"] i have a neighbor being hit with this pretty bad right now, and it has raised some questions in my mind.. vet told her that any bred cow that had it now.. that there was not any thing she could do for that cow to get rid of the lepto.. only thing was to vacinate it and get that cow on the right track for the next calf. she was told that you cant get rid of the lepto, just try to keep it in check.. if all this is true, then it really emphasizes the importance of vaccinations. she has had several cows abort and also had a 2 weeks old calf die, and just prior to dying he was urinating almost pure blood. vet said that was most likely lepto too.. ?? the calf died before the abortions started and she didnt get the vet to look at it.. she has had a closed herd for i know of over 2 years, and has never had this kind of problem in over 30 years. i was reading an angus publication just last week and it said there is now another strain of lepto out that the 5 way does not prevent.. it is hardjo bovis or something like that. it requires a special vaccine.. how many of you are vacinating for it? i would like to hear some of ya'lls comments on lepto.. thanks jt [/QUOTE]
