[QUOTE="newbie, post: 541979, member: 6231"] Sorry, I have been too busy working to post. Thanks for all the replies. I have finally gotten a vet for my 3 cows. I am so relived! And he was very cheap too. Molly has joint ill after she had the navel ill. She is on 5cc of pen g for five days and half a cc of banamine for three days. She was not doing bad until today when she would not drink her electrolytes. My husband tubed her for the elecrolytes in the morning and she had two litres of milk today. When I fed tried to feed her the last bottle of milk around 9 pm she was not interested in the bottle (she is very suspicious of electro) which was a first. Her nose was a little dry also. She is closed up in her nice little clean dry shed. The main reason she got navel ill was that she was born in a feedlot and was filthy dirty when we got her. I now know that when I have a sick calf to wack the penicillin and electrolytes into her and go from there. I had no clue that you could give 5cc of pen for 5 days, so now that I know I might have better luck next time. I have been trying to get a tube of probiotic but have had no luck so I dump some yogurt in Molly's bottle. I have been working so do not know if she is better today than yesterday. Thanks again for all of your input. Cheers [/QUOTE]
