[QUOTE="bayhorse, post: 229170, member: 4099"] Sorry, I was spelling it wrong it is "Vetisulid", it is another sulfa (injectable)that works against different things than Sulfa-trimeth, sometimes it is hard to find, it is often on back order at many places. It has worked well in the past for calves with unidentifiable sickness. Wondered if he wasn't on too many so took him off the sulfas, still on one non-sulfa antibiotic though, so he is still getting a systemic antibiotic. He is no worse for being taken off of the sulfas so they don't appear to have been helping, and he may have been having a reaction to them I guess. I'll see about the Nuflor today. The teeth grinding didn't start until after we took him off of the cow, at that time he just had a fever and was too tired to chase her down for milk, even in the corral. It almost looks like a neurologic symtom rather than pain, when I darkened the shed and make no noise it lessens or stops. I read somewhere that BVD can take on CNS form. There is also any number of things that he could have had a bad reaction to, we have had cows be allergic to all kinds of medications. The darned cow has had 5-way shots, but not BVD, I forget why, but the merck manual said breeding age cows shouldn't have mod-live BVD vaccine, and supposedly the killed doesn't work well. [/QUOTE]
