[QUOTE="Bama, post: 89730, member: 1184"] I almost didn't post that. I know that multiple doses are hard on em. The ones I was referring was in pretty bad shape. Several years ago I did that on the vets recommendations on a calf that could not get up. It worked. It never grew out as well as the rest of them but I still made pretty good on it. I have one now that I hit with 9cc on day one, 4cc on day 2,3,4 skipped day 5 and 4cc on day 6. Day 7 I told it to live or die. It is doing fine now 3 months later. All on the advice of the vet. It had shipping fever in a bad way. My idea was either cure it or get it over with. The one I got for 40 dollars was not a cow but a calf. I tubed it for a few days and then dewormed it before turning out to pasture. I made better on it than I did on some others. I did see a cow go through about 3 months ago for $5.00 thats the lowest I have ever seen. It was on the verge of being a downer. A light breeze would have put her on the floor. She had multiple problems. I didn't buy her, I didn't see who did buy her but was curious what they did with her. Preston I'm at work now and I am away from my records but I would say off the top of my head that 3 percent is a little high for loses. I have bought one week and carried back to another sale 2 days later. I took a loss but i didn't loss everthing. Around here you can't do that if you pump them full of meds. After I got that one home I dicided it wasn't worth the risk. I never gave it any meds, just took my loss and forgot about it. On another note keep these calves away from your main herd as you don't want to expose them all to the ILLBEDEADIFYOUDONTDOSOMETHING disease. [/QUOTE]
