Have a pregnant heifer that seems to be very sluggish. Did eat a little oats and one protein cake. Not interested in eating hay. Was eating fine this morning. She is supposed to be due in April Any ideas?

Temp her first, then antibiotics if a fever, nit sure what to use for acidosis. For antibiotics don;t dither around with combiotic, pen or LA200. Go for the gusto with Excenel, Nuflor or one of the other kick but types of antibiotics

I'm glad you said that, dun...I'm to a point I'm kinda scared to anymore...not scared to do it...just scared to suggest it.

Normal temperature is 101.5, in warm weather under 103 is ok, in cold weather, over about 102.3 starts worrying me. There is variation, but too high is a concern, as is the snotty nose.Susie David":98y71noh said:Temp under 103 is normal....when it is above 103 then you need to worry.
