[QUOTE="jb50, post: 722082, member: 9184"] My cow/ calf herd has bloody diarrhea. Some also have snotty noses and a few are coughing. The cows were vaccinated 5 weeks ago (cows only 1 shot.... annual revac with KV). The calves vaccinated 5 weeks ago and boostered 1 week ago with MLV. (The weather has been cold and real windy the last 10 days, not sure if great conditions to vaccinate in.) Two weeks ago I bought a few calves...not vaccinated.They were kept in the same run in shed, but a seperated pen. I am wishing now I had 'quarantined' them in a different barn. I'm hoping one isn't a PI calf, and the symptoms in the herd are from BVD. Does this sound like BVD?? If the herd is vaccinated, what are the odds of contracting BVD? I would guess vaccines aren't bullet proof.Maybe winter dysentery, although I've never had that in my herd before. If winter dysentery, should I change their diet. They get 50/50 of corn silage and grass hay. More hay and less silage? They have salt blocks available, anything else be beneficial? [/QUOTE]
