[QUOTE="cowvet, post: 358422, member: 5975"] Who gave you the recommendation to give LA200 and penicillin to a cow. One of the "rules" of good antibiotic usage is not to give tetracyclines and penicillins to the same animal as they interfere with one another and then don't work very well - one of them alone is better than both used together!!!! (The only exception I can think of is injectible penicillin at the same time as tetracycline pessaries into the uterus is okay) Injectible Penicillin is not my first choice for mastitis - it does not cross the blood/milk barrier into the udder as well as some of the other antibiotic families. Going into my cupboard of drugs it would probably be the last bottle I would reach for if dealing with mastitis!!! Sounds to me like the co-op person needs to do some learning with regards to good antibiotic usage rather than just trying to sell the stuff!!! What was the medication you infused into the back two quarters to dry them off? Hope you used a sterile technique when draining the front two quarters. Teat drains have a nasty habit of causing mastitis by introducing bacteria into the quarter if they are not sterile or if you have not cleaned the teat end appropriately... [/QUOTE]
