[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 773686, member: 6734"] OK.. from the way it sounds, I would guess its a calf/cow that doesn't ever fully recover from a respiratory infection??? Here's my question...I've been fooling with this calf thats had a really bad case of pneumonia. We've given heavy rounds of antibiotics and while she's back to taking her 2 bottles of milk replacer, she's not back on grain like she was and she STILL has the cough. No fever. No Snot. Respirations normal. Just can't get rid of the loose cough. From those of you who've been through this, how long can she have that cough? I've also read that she may do better in the winter but she'll have a hard time in the heat of summer. "Hard time" as in how? Will letting her into the shade of a barn (with fans) be sufficient? Those of you who say "ship her", I respect that but its not an option as my 9 y/o started raising her (I only took over when she got sick)... Just curious for those of you who have held on to one that was so sick...(she's currently 2 1/2 mo old) [/QUOTE]
