[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1354581, member: 12607"] There are virtually no bovine respiratory pathogens that are susceptible to penicillin, anymore. For the most part, there are very few disease conditions in cattle for which I'd even consider penicillin to be an appropriate treatment. If Draxxin, Baytril, and the like are not getting the job done, it's incredibly unlikely that penicillin will help anything. IF... this is a mycoplasma problem, then, no, penicillin won't help... mycoplasma have no cell wall, so penicillin has no mode of action against them. Tetracyclines are still effective, in vitro, against most Mycoplasma bovis isolates... but will likely have no effect against most other bacterial respiratory pathogens [/QUOTE]
