[QUOTE="Alice, post: 520454, member: 3873"] The calf mopes...the calf has a hard time drinking it's bottle...the calf sounds congested...the calf drools...the calf is six weeks old and past scouring. Bottom line, if it's not pneumonia I'd bet it's a close first cousin to it. LA200 used to have a place in the calf business, but I truly believe that's past...for anything anymore. Now, as for there being a particular "season" for pneumonia in calves...around here that season lasts 12 months outta the year. There's all kinds of reasons that calves wind up with pneumonia...biggest being, they're calves. Calves in that shape need prescription antibiotics...nuflor, draxxin, baytril and they need anti-inflammatory meds, not LA 200 and scour treatment. And, like Angie, if a vet recommends LA200 I definitely want to hear about it. That would worry me greatly... Also, SL, I'm going on what large animal vets charge around here, but for something like this, it wouldn't cost anything near $100. Heck, it wouldn't cost $50. Alice [/QUOTE]
