[QUOTE="Alice, post: 253659, member: 3873"] milkmaid, In re: rally 20...is it relatively new? I'd not heard of it. We have a heifer that's been to the vet a couple of times with respiratory illness/pneumonia. We're still treating her, and she'll probably go again this weekend. Neither one of the vets mentioned rally 20. I'm curious about it. Are you still having good luck with it?
