[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 116573, member: 1101"] Now look......ok, lets say your cow does have the BVD..... and you want to try and keep it alive as a pet...this may be far different from a producer raising cattle for an income. The first thing I would ask is ...........are there any other cattle in proximity to this one? sounds like the answer is yes.....one? also a pet? Vaccinate it asap, although already may be too late. but hey......ya know?? Ok next question and the most important one here....if these are pets, and there are no other cattle in the proximity, and there WON'T ever be any.......you can try to manage it by controlling the symptoms, meaning you have to treat the symptoms as they appear , and also give excellent supportive therapy....yup. just like an AIDS Pt. Now for those not initiated as to current Aussie gun control laws.... it may be hard to find a gun to shoot it with, with the exception of a constable or wardon, or some one who has hidden one away. Shame , as no doubt USA will eventually follow suit, but thats another forum all together. See what yr Vet has to say about the matter......as long as you will not subject other cattle to the illness, it may be your call. Either way.good luck to you mate. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
