[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 515120, member: 852"] Based on what the vet suggests... dex and re-covr... he's treating for pneumonia. Dex has a multitude of uses, but is generally used as an anti-inflammatory. Since it's a corticosteriod it will suppress the immune system - not a big deal as long as he's also on antibiotics. Re-covr (aka Rally-O) is an antihistamine; I've used it before, works ok, but getting some decent antibiotics into that calf will do more for him than treating the symptoms. 102.5ish is normal for a calf, which runs a higher temp than a mature cow does (around 101.5). The combination of a relatively normal temp and cloudy eyes makes me inclined to think it isn't pneumonia that the calf's suffering from, unless that's a secondary infection. Run a search for IBR online (Google, perhaps) and you should have plenty of reading material and pictures. [/QUOTE]
