I suspect I have a young Black Angus Bull with a persistant strain of BVD. No large animal vets available locally. Does anyone know where I could send a blood sample for testing?
I understant that the persistant strain is not treatable?
I have been nursing this bull back to health several times since I purchased him cannot get a response from the breeder, It is a registered Angus. Do I have any recourse with the Angus association about the seller? If this turns out to be the persistant type they had to know when they sold him to me, cause (I THINK) that is passed on at the fetal stage.
Any suggestions on determing cause or treatments are welcome.
This is what I have done. Shots of LA 200, terramyician spell check that, in drinking water. Wormed with Ivemc + inj
Also have used the Terrmaycian tabs in food. I have Issolated bull from rest of herd. He gets separate drinking water ,hay & feed. I have had to doctor this bull four times in six month period he is the only one in my herd I have this problem with. Stumped? When I get him healty as I can Again I will have to sell him at market and request he go for slaughter so no one else ends up with him. Spent all that money. What a darn shame. :help:
