Yes it was Wed Thur and Fri I gave the Banamine and draxxin. Yesterday the Micotil, thanks for telling me about the probios twice a day. I called 1-800 # they told me only once. I will give it twice now. Her temp is 104 tonight yesterday it was 106. If by some chance the micotil works how should I continue it for two weeks?
If I'm reading this right, you gave Draxin on Wed ( should be good for 8 days ) which would put us at Thurs this week and you gave Micotil on Sun, so that means we're on a full dose of Draxin and Micotil .
I think it reaches a point where we've tried eveything and I almost think you're there .As hillsdown and angie have suggested you still have Nuflor in your bag of tricks or maybe even A180, but even these may have been tried by a previous owner .Part of what I'm saying is that it's no accident that you ended up with this calf, the guy that sold it knew he was selling you a bad calf .
I'll tell you what I would do in this situation if my life depended on saving this calf . This is a calf with an immune system that is at nearly zero . We need to jump start his immune system and the best way I know to do this is with a shot of Bovi-Shield 5 Gold every 14 days until he is better or dead (2 doses min) . We need to get his temp under control, he's on 2 high powered antibiotics and still at 104 . We need to add something to broaden the spectrum of the antibiotics, something like SMZ-TMP or Spectinamycin or Lincomix . For 3 days I would use dexamethasone, not because I want too, but because we need some heavy duty relief from the symptoms .
