[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 860657, member: 5601"] angusdave63 First off: Where are you located? Second, your vet is right, climatic conditions can cause “summer pneumonia/ allergies“. The real question is why? And the same can be said for pinkeye. Why does it effect some cattle and not others in the same herd? IMO Cattle should be able to ward off most of these type ailments before they become noticeable much less life threading . I believe that many of the posts, like yours, are really only the symptom and not the real problem. I believe the real problem lies with a compromised immune system, not the invasion of a bacteria or virus. I believe the real problem is hereditary and/or dietary. As for what you should do, I will leave that up to the pill pushers. I’m more interested in debating the real cause of your problem, not the symptoms of your problem. Have you any idea what would cause these two cows to have a compromised immune system? Are they from same momma and 2 different bulls? Where did you get them? Anyone’s opinion is more then welcome.
