[QUOTE="Roadapple, post: 786025, member: 2919"] Bryant, you might want to look into Redwater. Do they show signs of high temp, port wine colored urine? In addition, jaundice,(a yellow coloring of the pink membranes) is usually seen. You have to look close to notice it, but the pink parts around the eye and vulva, or the prepuce in males, will show a slight yellowish tinge instead of a healthy pink color. The signs will usually be labored breathing and grunting, an arched back indicating abdominal pain, a weak and rapid pulse, temp elevation, and a swollen brisket. The manure wil be very dark along with wine colored urine. Has your pasture been flooded? Can be spread through hay grown in low-lying areas. It's thought to be associated with liver flukes, which are known to be spread by snails, and the disease may very likely be spread by the same carrier. Treatment is very high doses of tetracycline with very high levels of dextrose and electrolyte solutions given intravenously, but the outcome of treatment is doubtful. With anaplasmosis a "jugular pulse" is very common, The anemia will make the heart beat so hard that the pulse can be seen at the jugular vein area of the throat. Treatment is with tetracycline. 3 to 5 mg. per pound of bodyweight is given for 3 days. Treatment of the whole herd with injections of tet has eliminated the disease from the whole herd. Can be a 20 to 50% death loss. Hope you're not experiencing that. But good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
