[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 810203, member: 5106"] 7 years is the average age it shows up in cows and usually after calving. The fact is there are no real studies on steers affected with Johnes because most are slaughtered at a young age . Allyson Metacam/Meloxicam can be given orally as well, but like Keren said it is very pricey . Have you drenched him with Kaopectate , might be worth a try ? Everything you say about him implicates Johnes . The blood, test not fecal test, as he is symptomatic already, can be done with results within a week. Best of luck but you might want to think about euthanization if he considers to deteriorate , they can then take a sample from his brain and it will tell positive or negative with in a day . If he is positive for Johne's you will have to start a plan to clean up your land before ever having a calf on it again. When researching Johne's year ago, it said heat is the only thing that will kill the infected manure/soil . [/QUOTE]
