[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 253547, member: 852"] Agreed with msscamp. Baytril's my personal favorite for respiratory - however Nuflor is my second choice. Both are a whole lot cheaper than Draxxin. :lol: I usually figure if a calf is treated, starts to look better, then goes down again -- either the level of antibiotic in the system is decreasing to the point it is no longer effective (and you need to retreat!), or the antibiotic just plain isn't effective, and the Banamine you gave masked problems until it started to wear off. I'd personally disagree with someone saying you [u][i]have [/i][/u]to wait that long before treating again. I've been known, many times, to use the single-dose dosage, with the multi-day therapy. I'll defer to Karen's experience with Draxxin as I've never used it before. I do recall that it doesn't work near as fast as Baytril or Nuflor (theraputic concentrations within 60 minutes). I used Rally20 (aka Recover) for the first time this week and I think I like it. It is an antihistamine and my vet tells me it helps open their lungs so they can breath better... I'll have to use it again a time or two on some other cases before I really have a solid opinion of how well I feel it works, but as of right now I like it. Like it enough I just bought the whole bottle from my vet. :lol: Might give that a try, Gale. My vet tells me a lot of folks are having trouble with summer pneumonia, which sort of surprised me -- I usually think of pneumonia as a winter thing. I learn something new all the time! :lol: Good luck with him -- keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
