[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 256244, member: 852"] It's a clostridial...included in the 8 way. Basically a bacterial infection that involves hemorrhaging and loss of blood through urine (hence the name red-water). My book says it's most common in cattle over 1 year of age, and the average duration of the disease is 36 hours with a mortality of 95% in untreated animals. Mostly a problem where you have stagnant ponds/water, so I've been told. My vet told me I probably didn't need to vaccinate for it (my herd has access to running water), but I'd rather be safe than sorry, especially since 1) the neighbor has had trouble with it, and 2) those clostridial vaccinations are so CHEAP!
