[wandal]

just returned from the state fair with eight show calves, few days later they have diarehha ans snotty noses. Any suggestions on what we can use. They range from 700-1200 lbs a few are bred.

Temperatures?

 

[wandal]

They do not have a temperature.

If they're acting normal except for the squirts and the snotty nose just keep an eye on them. If they start acting a little off or their temp goes up that's the time to start antibiotics. But I'm not a big fan of using antibiotics willynilly.

If they are NOT acting sick - eating well - I would hit them with a Nasalgen or other nasal vaccine. A vaccine will "kick in" their immune system, and they will fight off what they have better.
Or you can feed them Aeromycin in their daily ration for 5 days.
