thiamine defic.

[Anonymous]

I have had several 350# stocker calves go down with the polio like disorder that the vets seem to think is a thiamine deficiency. Have not had great success bringing them back with injecting thiamine hydrochloride. Any great ideas?

If they're on amprol, it is a thiamine analog and induces polio with longer than 7-10d treatment. If they're not blind, I'd wonder about a mycotoxin in the feed. I have lots of ideas, so should your vets. Ask again what else it could be!<br>Good Luck<br>V<br>
