[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 359246, member: 852"] I did quite a few cultures on cows back when I was on the dairy... it sure taught me a lot about drugs and different pathogens, that's for sure! I certainly agree with what you've said about treatments and such. I will note that the only time I ever saw a staph aureus infection eliminated in a cow (not just clinically, but by multiple cultures) was after using 60cc's of Twin Penn (long lasting pennicillin; procaine and benzathine) daily plus intramammary infusions of Amoxicillin. I did see a few s. aureus cases clear up in fresh heifers after using 7 days of Pirsue, but that wasn't completely reliable either. Strep and ecoli cases weren't that hard to get rid of - it was the staph cows that were tough for me. I know pennicillin isn't the drug of choice for mastitis most of the time (esp since so many of the staph pathogens are resistant to it), but it has worked for me from time to time. While I'm thinking of it, what drugs do you use over there for mastitis? have any favorites for certain pathogens? [/QUOTE]
