[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 253957, member: 53"] Milkmaid, Karen, Alice, this is an interesting discussion....and I'm learning from it. I have to ask something about the banamine masking the problem. Once you get a diagnosis, isn't it appropriate to give the banamine to address the uncomfortable symptoms (fever, whatever). Won't it make the animal feel better? Are you saying that this 'masking' makes one inclined not to give additional antibiotics and, for that reason, the condition persists? (Forgive my ignorance, I have zero medical background, and I'm trying to understand all this.) What is the difference between 'shipping fever' and the type of 'pneumonia' that the little bull has? When we got a cow and a bull shipped in from Oklahoma a couple of years ago, BOTH came down with 'shipping fever' after about 8 days (right on schedule?). The vet gave penicillin and banamine, as I recall. It was not a big deal. But our little 9-mo. bull's 'pneumonia' seems like a more complicated matter and, I think, will persist quite a bit longer, ugh! (He was okay tonight, almost cleaned his plate, breathing normally...maybe because I got home late and missed the hottest part of the day). Oh, Alacowman, this bull is a Dexter. But that's okay, LOL. If he were a Highland, I might have to get the clippers out. :) [/QUOTE]
