[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 321363, member: 852"] Pneumonia can leave scarring that makes them more succeptible to the next bug that comes along. If they aren't running a high fever, coughing, and showing real signs of major sickness I don't know as I'd bother treating. I tend towards the benign neglect approach, as most times a little snuffly nose will go away by itself, and treating them is not cheap. If what you're dealing with is bacterial (and responding to antibiotics), then you probably have not vaccinated for that. BVD, IBR, PI3, and BRSV -- the things that we often vaccinate for that can cause respiratory problems -- are viral, and will not respond to antibiotics. If they [i]are [/i]responding to antibiotics, you may be dealing with something like pasturella or haemophilus somnus or mannheimia haemolytica, which you're not going to have vaccinated against unless you specifically went looking for that vaccine. It's not in any of the standard 8-way or 5-way or 10-way vaccines. Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
